To determine the number of brushings per day and periodontal self-perception in 12-year-old schoolchildren from the Machángara parish, in Cuenca Ecuador in 2016.
A descriptive, retrospective, relational level study was conducted. The sample consisted of 205 records of 12-year-old schoolchildren residing in the Machángara parish, which belongs to the epidemiological map of oral health in Cuenca, performed by the Catholic University of Cuenca. For analysis of the data, descriptive statistics were used with frequencies and percentages for each of the variables and the Kendall Tau-b statistical test was performed to determine the correlation between the main variables of the study, according to a significance of 0.05.
50.7% of adolescents were male, 49.3% female, and 94.1% were in public schools. It was found that 50.2% of the study population brushed three times a day, being 51.5% among females and 48.1% among males. The prevalence of periodontal self-perception was 85.4%: 86.1% in girls and 84.6% in boys. An inverse and significant negative correlation was found between the number of brushings per day and periodontal self-perception (Tau-b: -0.178; p: 0.004). Brushing frequency had an inverse and significant negative correlation with periodontal self-reporting for females (tau-b: -0.197; p value: 0.030) and a non significant correlation for males.
There is an inverse and significant negative correlation between the frequency of daily brushing and periodontal self-perception. Educational strategies regarding oral health are needed for adolescents from the Machángara parish of Cuenca.
确定2016年厄瓜多尔昆卡市马钱加拉教区12岁学童的每日刷牙次数及牙周自我认知情况。
开展了一项描述性、回顾性、相关性水平研究。样本包括居住在马钱加拉教区的205份12岁学童记录，该教区属于昆卡市口腔健康流行病学地图范围，由昆卡天主教大学完成。对于数据分析而言，使用了描述性统计，针对每个变量给出频率和百分比，并进行肯德尔Tau-b统计检验，以确定研究主要变量之间的相关性，显著性水平为0.05。
50.7%的青少年为男性，49.3%为女性，94.1%就读于公立学校。研究发现，50.2%的研究人群每天刷牙三次，其中女性为51.5%，男性为48.1%。牙周自我认知的患病率为85.4%：女孩为86.1%，男孩为84.6%。发现每日刷牙次数与牙周自我认知之间存在负向且显著的负相关（Tau-b：-0.178；p：0.004）。刷牙频率与女性的牙周自我报告呈负向且显著的负相关（tau-b：-0.197；p值：0.030），与男性则无显著相关性。
每日刷牙频率与牙周自我认知之间存在负向且显著的负相关。昆卡市马钱加拉教区的青少年需要有关口腔健康的教育策略。
