The objective of this research was to determine the prevalence of partial edentulism according to the Kennedy classification in patients aged 30 to 59 years at the “Imágenes Estomatológicas” EIRL center, Lima, 2017. The sample was obtained using the minimum sample size formula for finite populations, consisting of 150 panoramic radiographs of partial edentulous patients from the “Imágenes Estomatológicas” EIRL center. The evaluation was visual, and the findings were recorded in a data collection form that was created and validated by expert judgment. The results were processed using SPSS version 23 and Excel to generate frequency tables. The results showed that 32% of the population had a partial edentulism prevalence of Kennedy Class I, 26.7% had Class II, 39.3% had Class III, and 2% had Class IV. Additionally, in the upper jaw, 23.9% had Class I, 32.6% had Class II, 36.9% had Class III, and 6.6% had Class IV. In the lower jaw, 35.6% had Class I, 24% had Class II, 40.4% had Class III, and 0% had Class IV. Regarding gender, 30% of males had Class I, 24.3% had Class II, and 45.7% had Class III, while 33.75% of females had Class I, 28.75% had Class II, 33.75% had Class III, and 3.75% had Class IV. The prevalence of partial edentulism according to Kennedy Class I presented modification I at 47.9%, Class II modification III at 50%, and Class III modification I at 47.5%. It was concluded that the most frequent Kennedy classification was Class III, both in the upper and lower jaws, and it was also more frequent in both male and female patients.
