AIM Establish the frequency of requirement for endodontic treatment for six year olds in Bellavista and Gil Ramírez Dávalos
urban districts at the city of Cuenca-Ecuador 2016. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Cross-sectional study of oral clinical
evaluation of 302 six year-old school children with deciduous dentition in Bellavista and Gil Ramírez Dávalos urban districts

Use the diagnostic criteria for the need for endodontic treatment. A specialist calibrated observers, the parents signed the

with natural light and mouth mirror. RESULTS: A total of 302 school children from the Bellavista and Gil Ramírez Dávalos
districts, which 38% represent males and 62% females; 11% had the need for endodontic treatment, 10% mainly for pulpitis
and 1% for ulcer. CONCLUSIONS: This data collection reveals that there is a need for endodontic treatment at six years of
age, with a prevalence of 11%, which must be attended by the pediatric dentistry and the endodontist.
