La propuesta que se plantea resulta de la mala técnica de aseo en los adultos mayores por distintos factores. El objetivo fue determinar la presencia de caries en los adultos mayores que asisten a la consulta externa de la clínica Norvida de Guayaquil. Para el desarrollo de la investigación se utilizó el método cualitativo de estudio de caso a fin de describir las condiciones de lo investigado. En este estudio los resultados señalaron que el 75% manifiesta haber recibido alguna vez educación oral, el 24% se cepilla 3 veces al día, el 88% visita al odontólogo solamente cuando hay dolor o alguna molestia, el 86% dicen que no consumen alimentos que contengan los minerales y vitaminas necesarias para fortaleces las piezas dentarias, 50% fuman de estos solo el 16 % se cepilla. Como conclusión en su mayoría los pacientes cuentan con recursos económicos para acceder a una higiene bucal adecuada, sin embargo los utilizan en otros productos que consideran de mayor prioridad, ya que las normas de higiene es inferior a lo recomendado a esto le sumamos la alimentación inadecuada y el agua no fluorada, malos hábitos. Estos factores inciden directamente en la prevalencia de caries, principalmente porque no existen programas de prevención de salud oral en estas casas de salud y el paciente acude a los centros médicos cuando ya existe la caries.
