Most of the patients who come to the Dental Emergency Consultation report painful symptomatology caused by pulp diseases. An observational analytical study was performed; the population consisted of 252 patients who were seen at the Dental Service of "Chiqui Gómez Lubián" Polyclinic, Santa Clara, and were diagnosed with a transient reversible pulp condition from January to December 2016. The sample (167 patients) was chosen intentionally. The main objective was to describe the causal agents, relate clinical evolution and clinical-epidemiological variables, and identify factors associated with clinical evolution in reversible pulp processes. The most affected age range was 22 - 52 years old and male gender predominated. The causal agent that affected the greatest number of patients was the bacterial one; all variables were related to the result of clinical evolution.

Keywords : dental pulp diseases; pulpitis.
