A descriptive and cross-sectional study was carried out in patients who attended the Dental Department at the Dental Clinic in Palma Soriano in Santiago de Cuba province, searching immediate or emergent care, with or without medical record, to adopt the corresponding measures on the base of the causes which forced them to attend the service, without interfering in the programmed visits. Among the main results the female sex, the urban area, subprosthesis stomatitis, traumatic ulcer, buccal disorders in old people, repairs (fractured or fallen teeth) and cementations of individual restorations or dental bridges prevailed.
