The number of times a process has to be repeated has a direct influence on its quality, as repetition of activities affects efficiency, increases costs and patient dissatisfaction due to the longer time used for treatment. A cross-sectional descriptive study was carried out to identify factors influencing the failure of rehabilitations in patients discharged from the Dentistry Faculty of Villa Clara in 2016 and 2017. Failures occurred in 6.05% of the patients, resulting in 5.93% of repeated cases. The graduate experience, working conditions and laboratory failures were the main influencing factors; biomechanical principles and defective centric relation predominated among the causes of these failures. The failure rate was high according to the National Programme indicators, although the success rate significantly outweighed the failures.
