Abstract

Dental caries is considered an important public health problem and it is estimated that between 60 and 90% of school-age children have experienced caries. The objective of the research was to analyze the results of the CPOD-ceo indicators in children between 5 and 14 years old in the neighborhoods: 2 de agosto, San Rafael, El Mirador and Circunvalación in the period from October to December 2021, in the framework of the Outpatient Care Project of the ULEAM School of Dentistry. It was a descriptive research with a field, non-experimental, cross sectional design. The sample was made up of 113 boys and girls from four neighborhoods of Manta (Circunvalación, San Rafael, El Mirador and 2 de agosto). The DMF was 1.81 ± 1.941 teeth, with the carious component contributing the most to the total with 1.05 ± 1.352 teeth. It was higher in the female sex (1.89) than in the male (1.72) in the 2 de agosto neighborhood (2.30). Caries experience in permanent teeth was 69%. The ceo index was 2.13 ± 1,803 teeth, the highest component was caries with 1.50 ± 1,659 teeth. The 2 de agosto neighborhood showed the worst results with 2.61 and it was higher in females (2.19) than in males (2.08). Caries experience in primary teeth was 72%.
