A descriptive and cross-sectional study of 694 students from "Camilo Cienfuegos Gorriarán" secondary school in Santiago de Cuba was carried out from January to March, 2015 with the purpose of determining the disorder due to dental decays in the first permanent molar. The percentage was used to analyze the information and among the main results it was found that most of those examinated (74%) presented dental decay in at least one of the molars, with a higher frequency in the female sex and 13 years students (45.6 and 77.6% respectively), while the most damaged were the lower molars (26.5%); fossas and fissures were the most affected dental surfacies (5.1%). Finally, it was recommended to intensify the stomalogical care programs to school children from 12 to 15 years

Keywords : first permanent molar; dental decay; adolescents; secondary schools; school odontology servicies.
