In the case material there was a prevalence of the female sex, the 60 years and over age group, as well as the absence of symptomatology. Grade I estomatitis was the most frequent; while loosened prosthesis, the time of continuous use and the habit of not removing away the prosthesis were the main predisposing factors in the emergence of this disease. Reason why it is important to carry out educational actions that allow to diminish the presence of this disorder
