Resumen

BECERRA INFANTAS, Gustavo Adolfo  y  VEGA MANGA, Betsy Janine. Level of Knowledge Regarding Peri-Implantitis Among Periodontics and Implants Residents at the Professional School of Stomatology, Andean University of Cusco. Rev. Estomatol. Herediana [online]. 2023, vol.33, n.2, pp.93-98.  Epub 30-Jun-2023. ISSN 1019-4355.  http://dx.doi.org/10.20453/reh.v33i2.4498.

Background:

Treatment with dental implants has increased rapidly worldwide, but it should be noted that cases of peri-implant diseases such as peri-implantitis have also increased. Therefore, it is key that specialists in periodontics and implants acquire comprehensive knowledge about these diseases. This knowledge will enable them to effectively prevent, diagnose, and treat peri-implantitis in their professional practice.

Objective:

To determine the level of knowledge about peri-implantitis among residents of the Periodontics and Implants specialty at the Professional School of Stomatology of the Andean University of Cusco, 2017.

Material and Methods:

The study was applicative, quantitative, descriptive and cross-sectional, based on the application of a validated questionnaire to a sample made up of 50 students enrolled in the specialty of Periodontics and Implants at the Professional School of Stomatology of the Andean University of Cusco during the academic semester 2017-II.

Results:

The results revealed that 44% of the residents in the Periodontics and Implants specialty possessed a medium level of knowledge regarding peri-implantitis. Additionally, 36% had a low level of knowledge, while 20% demonstrated a high level of knowledge.

Conclusions:

It was determined that the surveyed residents of the Periodontics and Implants specialty at the Professional School of Stomatology of the Andean University of Cusco have a medium level of knowledge about peri-implantitis. Specifically, it was found that the level of knowledge depends on the year and semester of study for the residents.
