    The objective of this study was to determine the presence of Helicobacter pylori in dental plaque and the associated risk factors in children aged 6-8 years from the José Carlos Mariátegui School – Lima 2019. The research was prospective, cross-sectional, and descriptive. It was conducted in schoolchildren aged 6-8 years (both female and male). The sample consisted of 55 children. A health survey was used for data collection, and dental plaque was obtained using a swab, which was placed directly into urea broth and incubated at 37°C in the laboratory of the Universidad Norbert Wiener. Readings were taken at 24, 48, and 72 hours, and statistical analysis was performed on the obtained data. Results: The results showed that the presence of Helicobacter pylori was 63.6% (35 children), meaning the majority of the children had a positive diagnosis for this pathogen. The risk factor found was that the consumption of unboiled water was highly associated with the presence of Helicobacter pylori in the children.
