The present study aimed to promote self-regulated learning of dental students through application KPSI. It is an experimental research conducted in a random sample of 50 students from “Integral Adult Clinic I”, Faculty of Dentistry, University of The Andes. Comprised two groups: Control (C) and Experimental (E). The procedure consisted of: (a) Development and validation of questionnaires KPSI and academic test, (b) application of pre KPSI Group E, (c) teaching of content to groups C and E, (d) application of post KPSI group E, and (e) academic test application to groups C and E. The results show that the group E has a higher academic performance than group C. It was concluded that self-regulation of university student learning through questionnaires KPSI significantly affects their academic performance.

(2016) Ambrosio Pabón Márquez; Samaria Muñoz de Camacho; Nelly Velazco; María Teresa García de Dávila; María León Camacho
El presente estudio tuvo como objetivo determinar el estilo de aprendizaje dominante de los estudiantes de odontologia y su relacion con el rendimiento academico. Es una investigacion cuantitativa descriptiva, con un diseno de tipo transversal, realizada en una muestra probabilistica de 250 alumnos de primero a quinto ano de la Facultad de Odontologia de la Universidad de Los Andes. El procedimiento comprendio: la aplicacion del instrumento “estilos de aprendizaje de Kolb”; el desarrollo de clases; el registro de los estilos de aprendizaje y rendimiento academico de los alumnos y el analisis de los datos. Los resultados revelaron la existencia de cuatro estilos de aprendizaje: 49,6% asimiladores (teoricos), el 27,6% divergentes (experienciales); el 11,6% acomodadores (creativos) y el 11,2% convergentes (practicos). El estilo de aprendizaje asimilador es el preferido por la mayoria de los alumnos de odontologia; mientras que los alumnos de segundo ano prefieren un estilo acomodador, los de tercer ano prefieren un estilo de aprendizaje divergente y los del cuarto ano un estilo convergente. En resumen, el presente estudio permite concluir que en los estudiantes de odontologia de la Universidad de Los Andes predomina el estilo de aprendizaje asimilador y el rendimiento academico y el ano de estudio estan relacionados con los estilos de aprendizaje.
Granuloma piogénico gravídico
(2007) Nelly Velazco; Erica Holguín González; J M Belkis Quiñonez
The pyogenic Granuloma is a focal reactive injury, not neoplasic, of fibrobascular tissue or granulation. Feminine sexual hormones influence its ethiopatogeny and when it occurs during pregnancy it is called gravidic pyogenic granuloma or pregnancy tumor. During gestation, this injury can present a rapid and accelerated growth, acquiring dimensions that interfere with chewing, affecting nutrition and consequently fetus development. Gravidic pyogenic granuloma is located more frequently in the front vestibular gum in the upper maxillary. However, its presence has also been reported at an extra gingival level. This case report describes the clinical, radiographic, histopathologic characteristics and the treatment of an unusual extra gingival located gravidic pyogenic granuloma, in the edentate alveolar locking lip of a 22 year-old patient in post pregnancy period.

Hábitos alimenticios, hábitos odontológicos y caries dental en estudiantes de odontología y arquitectura de la Universidad de Los Andes
(2010) Daniela Andreina Olávez Cepeda; Nelly Velazco; Eduvigis Solórzano N.
Dental caries is a multifactorial, infectious disease in which the host, oral microflora and diet are involved; being the carbohydrates the most cariogenic food. The objective of this study was to compare nutritional habits, dental habits and presence of dental caries in students of the schools of Architecture and Dentistry of the Universidad de Los Andes. For this matter, a transectional study was designed, a multiple choice questions survey about nutritional and dental habits was applied as well as a clinical examination to determine the index of dental caries (CPOD) on 57 students of Architecture and 56 students of Dentistry, chosen at random. The results were analyzed by comparison of averages and chi-squares, obtaining CPOD indexes of 4,43±3,44 in Architecture and 4,80±4,05 in Dentistry. The most consumed carbohydrates were pasta, bread and candies; related to CPOD indexes in Architecture, not finding any relation between the consumption of pasta and CPOD in Dentistry. No significant differences were found when comparing the indexes of caries and dental habits of the groups involved. Despite the groups were uniform, the presence of better dental habits in Dentistry students could be attached to the knowledge and motivation acquired on their careers.

Each one of the members of the dental health professionals group, as well as the patient who goes to an appointment, are exposed to the risks of getting highly infectious diseases; in the last two decades, society has been more aware about the rising and transmission of infectious-contagious diseases. Patients and health workers have shown interest and concern about diseases transmitted by the Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) and by hepatitis B and C virus (HBV and HCV), which has led the dental health team (dentists, dental hygienists) to star putting into practice biosecurity and infection control in the dentist office. Hence the importance of reviewing the latest concepts known to protect ourselves and the patient in dental practice following infection control regulations destined to diminish risk of infectious microorganisms from identified and unidentified sources in the dentist office linked to accidents by exposure to blood and bodily fluids.

It was a field, observational, descriptive and cross-sectional study, the sample was included 102 students enrolled for Clinical Practice of periodontics. Data collection was performed through a 24-items collation list. Data analysis was conducted by using the statistical program SPSS, version 15 and considering theoretical issues to theoretical issues to strengthen its interpretation. Results showed that, in regards to the use of physical barriers before, during and after patient care, in most cases the standards are not entirely observed.
