Abstract

Background: Promoting oral health, the instruments and implements used in oral hygiene, knowledge of representatives, nutrition, beliefs, among others; are determinants for the development of oral diseases and caries at an early age in infants. Objective: to identify the implements used by legal representatives for oral hygiene in children from 0 to 3 years of age in the Yanuncay parish. Cuenca-Ecuador. Materials and methods: for this cross-sectional study, the sample was first calculated using OpenEpi, a statistical software, which resulted in 215 children out of a universe of 3,932, which was the total number of infants in the parish. The survey, which was the instrument used in this project, underwent a validation process using Aiken's V. statistical test; once it was approved, the survey was carried out with the children's representatives. After obtaining the data, contingency tables were made in Microsoft Excel 2021 and the statistical significance was evaluated using Stata version 8.0 software in order to interpret all the data that the survey helped to collect. Results: 73.49% of the implements used by legal guardians for oral hygiene in children from 0 to 3 years of age in the Yanuncay parish are toothpaste and 67.44% are toothbrushes. Conclusions: Although most children use toothpaste and toothbrushes, the most commonly used one does not contain fluoride, which could lead this group of children to develop caries at an early age because they do not have a protective effect against this pathology.
