A descriptive and cross-sectional study of 150 inhabitants from Palma Soriano in Santiago de Cuba, was carried out during 2015 who belonged to 5 family doctor's offices and were selected by means of a stratified sampling in age groups of interest, aimed at determining the state of oral health in them, for which some variables of the dental oral health survey pattern of the World Health Organization were considered and modified in 2003. Among the outstanding results of the series it was obtained that the female sex prevailed, 92.8% didn't present disorders in the temporomandibular joint, 75.3% didn't suffer from any periodontal disease, which was mostly observed in persons aged 35 to 44, and the prosthetic partial treatment was the most used. In the same way, the decayed, filled and lost teeth index was 1.1 at 12 years and it revealed a higher damage in the 60-74 age group due to the lost teeth component

Palabras clave : state of oral health; disorders in the temporomandibular joint; periodontal disease; index of decay; filled and lost teeth.
