    According to the World Health Organization, almost 100% of the adult population and 60% of children suffer from dental caries. The objective of this study was to determine if there is a relationship between dental caries and caries risk in schoolchildren aged 6 to 9 years at the Mariscal Ramón Castilla Educational Institution in Tingo María during 2023. The hypothetical-deductive method was used, as a phenomenon was to be discovered within a group of people that are part of the study and to understand its distribution within the group. The population consisted of schoolchildren aged 6 to 9 years, with a sample of 248 children attending the educational institution. It was found that 62% of 6-year-old children have a high risk of caries, as do 37.9% of 7-year-olds. 46.2% of 8-year-old children have a medium risk of caries, and 44.8% of 9-year-olds have a low caries risk. In total, 39.6% of the boys and 41.8% of the girls showed a medium caries risk.
