ABSTRACT
Due to insufficient stomatologic information related to patients with mental retardation, it was decided to perform a descriptive and transversal study with the students of the Special School Fructuoso Rodríguez in Campechuela with mild and moderate mental retardation in the months of September-October of the school year 2015- 2016. They were made the individual clinical history which constituted a useful source for the achievement of the desired results. Students with mild mental retardation accounted for 57.4 % with males 37.7 % higher. Among the most significant results are: chronic gingivitis 100 %, late eruption 82.0 %. When performing the extraoral physical examination, the variables most represented were the patients with convex profile 83.6 % and adenomatoid facie 31.1 %. This research was carried out, with the support of other sectors and with the interest of offering a solution to improve the state of oral health in these children through their characterization.REFERENCES
