Resumen
La caries dental es un problema común en la clínica de odontología, esta es una enfermedad multifactorial debido a que es causada por diversos factores como consecuencia de la presencia de ácidos, que atacan las superficies del esmalte, producidos por bacterias que se encuentran en la placa bacteriana. Objetivo: Determinar la prevalencia de caries dental en piezas temporarias en niños entre 5 a 7 años de edad de la Unidad Educativa “José Martínez Queirolo” del periodo lectivo 2019 - 2020. Método y tipo: se realizó un estudio descriptivo y transversal. La muestra fue de 117 niños. Se examinó a cada estudiante por medio de una ficha de observación para así determinar la prevalencia de caries en los dientes temporarios. Resultados: el 74% de estudiantes presentaron caries dental en al menos una de sus piezas, con mayor prevalencia en los hombres. Conclusión: Las piezas temporarias más afectadas son las inferiores posteriores.
