Abstract

Aim: Determine the epidemiological profile of pulp pathologies in the city of Cuenca-Ecuador in the period March 2017 - February 2018. Materials and methods: A retrospective study was carried out, based on the analysis of 785 clinical files from the endodontic area corresponding to patients treated in dental care centers in the city of Cuenca (Ecuador) in the period March 2017-February 2018. Results: From the total number of clinical records evaluated, it was determined that 57% of the patients attended presented some type of pulp pathology. These pathologies occur mainly in female patients, aged between 36 and 45 years, whose occupation is classified in the category "elementary occupations". Conclusion: There is a high frequency of pulp pathologies in patients who are referred to the endodontic area of dental care centers in the city of Cuenca. This is most likely the result of untreated dental caries.
