Introduction: the dental caries is a multifactorial disease of high prevalence in Urbano Noris municipality Objective: to determine the prevalence of dental caries and to identify the main risk factors. Method: a cross- sectional study in the health area No. 2 of Manuel Fajardo Rivero Polyclinic of Urbano Noris municipality, from July 2011 to January 2013. A simple random sample of 352 patients between 15 and 69 years was selected. To collect information Stomatology consultation was done where the oral examination and control of plaque with developing substance was made. Data were collected in medical records. The Odds Ratio (OR) and confidence intervals of 95% (95% CI) of risk factors in the EPIDAT 3.1 program were calculated. Results: the prevalence of dental caries was 56.9% in the group of 25-29 years. The risk of dental caries was higher in patients with poor oral hygiene (OR = 5.98; 95% CI = 3.24 to 11.01), cariogenic diet (OR = 4.87; 95% CI = 3.06 to 7, 75), dental crowding (OR = 6.11; 95% CI = 3.95 to 10.06) and use of removable partial dentures (OR = 3.10; 95% CI = 1.78 to 5.41). Conclusions: The prevalence of dental caries is high, with a tendency to increase with the aging process and no differences between sexes. Risk factors for dental caries were poor oral hygiene, cariogenic diet, dental crowding and the use of removable partial dentures.
