Abstract
El propósito de este estudio realizado en el asilo "Lira" en Arequipa en 2023 fue determinar la dimensión vertical en pacientes edéntulos portadores de prótesis dentales completas. La investigación se llevó a cabo mediante evaluaciones clínicas en las que se tomaron medidas utilizando un compás de Willis, y luego se registraron en una ficha de recolección de datos. Este estudio se enmarca en un enfoque cuantitativo, con un nivel descriptivo y un diseño observacional. Se analizaron dos dimensiones de la variable en cuestión en un grupo de 35 participantes que utilizaron prótesis dentales completas. Donde se mostró que la media de la dimensión vertical de los 35 participantes fue 62.48 +/- 5.35 mm, Además la mayoría de los participantes se caracterizaron por tener una dimensión vertical disminuida en un (74,3%), mientras que los pacientes con dimensión vertical ideal fueron (17,1%), por otro lado, con menor porcentaje fueron los pacientes con dimensión vertical aumentada (8.6%). Así mismo, se determinó que la dimensión vertical se encontró en su mayoría disminuida según sexo, tanto en masculino y femenino, como también según el grupo etario, la dimensión vertical se encontró disminuida en su mayoría de los grupos etarios.
The purpose of this study conducted at the "Lira" nursing home in Arequipa in 2023 was to determine the vertical dimension in edentulous patients with complete dentures. The investigation was carried out by means of clinical evaluations in which measurements were taken using a Willis compass, and then recorded in a data collection form. This study is framed within a quantitative approach, with a descriptive level and an observational design. Two dimensions of the variable in question were analyzed in a group of 35 participants who used complete dentures. It was shown that the mean vertical dimension of the 35 participants was 62.48 +/- 5.35 mm. In addition, most of the participants were characterized by having a decreased vertical dimension (74.3%), while the patients with an ideal vertical dimension were (17.1%), on the other hand, with a lower percentage were the patients with an increased vertical dimension (8.6%). Likewise, it was determined that the vertical dimension was found to be mostly decreased according to sex, both in male and female, and also according to age group, the vertical dimension was found to be decreased in most of the age groups.
