Synopsis of recent research by authors named "America Patricia Pontigo-Loyola"
America Patricia Pontigo-Loyola's research primarily focuses on oral health epidemiology, specifically the prevalence and risk factors associated with dental diseases in various populations, including children and older adults.
Her studies emphasize the significant role of socioeconomic factors in health outcomes, particularly in the context of alcohol and tobacco use among Mexican adolescents and access to dental care.
