title: [Dental caries: age, income level and dental care].
abstract: We have studied a population of 527 school children between 6 and 17 years old, having as main characteristic to have free odontological care. The prevalence of caries found was 40.4%. The age appears as a risk factor. However, we have not found any influence in the social status. The odontological care is considered essential in the decrease of prevalence of dental caries.
