ABSTRACT

Introduction: recently, Chinese students are being massively received in our medical universities. This is an unprecedented event in our country. For mastering everything about their oral health and their health-disease process, a stomatologic study was conducted on them.
Objective: to identify the main oral diseases in these subjects to provide quality health care for them.
Methods: a descriptive study was conducted, taking a sample of 185 Chinese students. They had oral and facial examination and an interview for this investigation variables was applied.
Results: gingivitis and malocclusions were the most prevalent oral diseases, dental caries manifested the least. Both male and female subjects prevailed as patients. Rural social background provided the only poor disabled patients.
Conclusions: oral hygiene is the risk factor most related to gingivitis y dental caries. The rural social origin determined a worse epidemiological condition.
