    Dental caries is a pathological process resulting from the action of acids produced by bacteria. The most vulnerable population for developing caries is school-aged children, and they have become accustomed to living with it, despite increasing evidence that oral disease significantly impacts overall health and social well-being. Therefore, the objective of this study was to determine the relationship between the level of dental caries and the level of knowledge about oral health in schoolchildren aged 8 to 12 years in El Agustino, Lima-Peru, 2016. A sample of 205 schoolchildren aged 8 to 12 years was selected. They filled out a previously validated oral health questionnaire, which consisted of 10 questions on prevention, dental caries, diet, and hygiene, with alternative responses and a score from 0 to 20, each scored with 2 points. The children were then evaluated through an odontogram to determine the CPO-D index.
