1. Introduction
2. Objective
Scientific advances in pediatric medicine have resulted in the reduction of perinatal and infant mortality.
However, high-risk newborns need monitoring and multidisciplinary treatment since the decrease in mortality leads to a significant increase in morbidity.
The most common oral pathologies in high-risk newborns are developmental defects of enamel and dentine, differences in dental eruption timeline, tooth decay and cleft palate.
To evaluate the association between oral pathology diagnosed at birth and time of demand to dental service at Instituto Nacional Materno Perinatal de Lima, Peru (INMP)
3. Method
Poisson regression model
with robust variance
CROSS-SECTIONAL
DESIGN
104 infants born in INMP

4. Results
5. Conclusion
Table 1: Birth weight and complexity of diagnosis associated with demand to dental service at hospital center
Low birth weight and complexity of oral diagnosis of the infant may be considered factors that encouraged demand for dental service
