ABSTRACT

Introduction: dental caries has been described in the scientific literature with different concepts. At present the WHO establish the dental caries like an infectious disease characterized by hydrolytic destruction of teeth tissues, caused by the oxidative chemical action of the acids produced by microorganism of the dental plaque.
Objective: an observational, descriptive, and transversal study was carried out in the period of September 2013 to September of 2014 with the objective to describe the relationship between risk factors and dental caries.
Method: the universe was made by 390 children, and the sample belonged to 160 children between 6 and 8 years of both genders distributed into 2 groups: healthy and sick.
Results: the greatest representation in regards to sex was found on females with 105 children from 160 examined for a 65. 7 %. According to age, the most representative was the group of 8 years old with a total of 60 children for 37. 5 %. The boys were affected with 81.81%. In this study the sick people prevailed over the healthy ones with 105 both sexes for a 65.62 %. The risk factor and the deficient buccal hygiene reached a prevalence of sick children in relation to the healthy ones with a total of 85 for 80. 95%. In the behavior of the risk factor cariogenic diet, we find 100 kids that presented the risk factor for 95.23%. Dental crowding or packing in children of both sexes was not predominant. In the case of sick patients, it was present in 35 kids for 33. 3 % indicating that it has influences as a predisposing factor in dental caries.
Conclusions: the most significant risk factor in our study was the cariogenic diet. The deficient buccal hygiene was also of great importance because it prevailed in most of the children. Dental crowding even represented in a minor percentage in kids affected with caries also played its role as a predisposal factor of oral diseases like gingivitis and malocclusion, because in kids free of caries where this factor was observed both diseases were present.
