%X Objetivos: Determinar la prevalencia y distribuci車n de gingivitis y su relaci車n con factores socioecon車micos, biol車gicos y locales en ni os chilenos de 4 a os. Metodolog赤a: Se realiz車 un estudio transversal enpreescolares de 4 a os que acuden al Hospital de Calbuco, Regi車n de Los Lagos, Chile. La muestra consisti車 en 102 ni os/ni as de 4 a os. Un examinador, previamente calibrado, realiz車 examen odontol車gico, determinando presencia de placa bacteriana visible, caries dental y sangramiento gingival. Resultados: Los resultados demostraron una prevalencia del 93,1% gingivitis, siendo los sextantes IV y VI los m芍s afectados, con un 90 y 92% de prevalencia respectivamente. Al realizar el an芍lisis de la correlaci車n de gingivitis con otros factores, result車 una correlaci車n positiva con caries y con el nivel de placa bacteriana, por sextante. No hubo correlaciones significativas con g谷nero, maloclusi車n, frecuencia de cepillado y responsable del cepillado. Conclusi車n: La alta prevalencia encontrada, los sextantes m芍s afectadas y la escasa relaci車n con datos de la anamnesis del ni o/ni a, deben ser consideradas en la educaci車n que se le entrega al adulto responsable del cepillado, particularmente en la poblaci車n de nivel socioecon車mico bajo, quienes son m芍s susceptible a las enfermedades bucales. Objective: To determine the prevalence and distribution of gingivitis and its relation with socioeconomic, biological and local factors in Chilean children of 4 years-old. Methodology: A cross-sectional study was performed in pre-school children of 4 years old attended in Calbuco Hospital, Los Lagos Region, Chile. The sample consisted of 102 children of 4 years-old. An examiner, previously calibrated, realized clinical examination determining presence of visible plaque, dental decay and gingival bleeding. Results: The prevalence of gingivitis was 93,1%, being the sextants IV and IV the most affected, with a 90% and 92% of prevalence respectively. To performance the analysis of the correlation of gingivitis with other factors, a positive correlation was found with caries and plaque level, by sextant. There weren't significant correlations with genre, malocclusion, frequency of brushing and responsible of the brushing. Conclusion: The high prevalence founded, the sextants more affected and the little relation with data of the anamnesis of children, must be considered in the education that is given to the caregivers, particularly in the population of low socioeconomic level, who are more susceptible to oral diseases.
