Resumen
Objetivo: El objetivo de este estudio fue conocer la prevalencia del Ponticulus Posticus (PP) en los pacientes de la Facultad de Odontología de la Universidad Andrés Bello, Viña del Mar, Chile; a través de telerradiografías laterales de cráneo digitales. Materiales y métodos: Se analizaron 450 telerradiografías laterales de cráneo del centro de radiología de la universidad. Se realizó la búsqueda de la presencia del PP y se utilizó la clasificación de Cederberg y Stubbs la cual describe 4 grados según osificación. Se llevó a cabo un análisis estadístico descriptivo mediante el uso de tablas, para establecer prevalencia y si existía asociación entre la presencia del PP con el género y el rango etario mediante la prueba de Chi cuadrado. Resultados: Se encontró una prevalencia total de 42.4% con una mayor prevalencia en el rango etario 21-40 años. Respecto a su grado de osificación, este estudio apunta que la mayor prevalencia se observó en el grado 1 (57.5%) seguida por el grado 2 (25%), el grado 4 (9.5%) y finalmente el grado 3 (8%). Conclusiones: El hallazgo Ponticulus Posticus no es poco frecuente, es observable a diferentes edades y no presenta una predilección por un género en específico. Es necesario
entregar un oportuno diagnóstico debido a que algunos pacientes presentan síntomas que pueden afectar significativamente su calidad de vida.
Objective: The aim of this study was to know the prevalence of Ponticulus Posticus (PP) in patients from School of Dentistry of Andrés Bello University in Viña del Mar, Chile; through digital lateral cephalograms. Materials and methods: 450 digital lateral cephalograms from the radiology center were analyzed. The presence of PP was sought using Cederberg and Stubbs’ classification which describes 4 degrees according to ossification. A statistical analysis was performed using descriptive statistics by making use of tables to establish prevalence and the association between the presence of PP with gender and age range through Chi-squared test. Results: A total prevalence of 42.4% was found with a higher prevalence in the 21-40 years age range. Regarding its degree of ossification, this study points out that the highest prevalence was observed in grade 1 (57.5%) followed by grade 2 (25%), grade 4 (9.5%) and grade 3 (8%). Conclusions: PP is not uncommon, it is observable at different ages and does not present a predilection for a specific gender. It is necessary to deliver an appropriate diagnosis because some patients present symptoms that can affect their quality of life.
