Abstract	Objetivos: determinar la prevalencia de la caries dental y el grado de asociacion entre conocimientos acerca de salud bucal, la higiene bucal y la afectacion por caries dental. Metodos: entre marzo 2008 y marzo 2009 se realizo un estudio descriptivo, observacional, de corte transversal en 100 jovenes que tenian entre 17 y 19 anos, de ambos sexos y que padecian de caries dental. Resultados: la prevalencia de caries fue de 7,7 % en las mujeres y de 8,6 % en los hombres. La mayoria de los participantes en ambos sexos tenian una higiene bucal deficiente. En 24 (48 %) mujeres y en 34 (68 %) hombres, los conocimientos sobre salud bucal fueron calificados de mal. Se encontraron diferencias estadisticamente significativas entre la higiene bucal, los conocimientos sobre salud bucal y la afectacion por caries dental. Conclusiones: la prevalencia de caries dental es alta en la poblacion estudiada. Los factores de riesgo analizados se asocian con la afectacion por caries dental.
