The objective of this research was to determine the frequency of alveolitis in patients attending the Department of Odonto-Stomatology at the Augusto Bernardino Leguía Police Hospital between January 2016 and March 2020. The methodology was observational, retrospective, cross-sectional, and descriptive, involving a total population of 1583 patients who underwent tooth extractions. Data were collected using a form validated by expert judgment, consisting of two sections: the first for sociodemographic variables and the second for clinical variables, gathered from medical records and the institution's virtual database (Health Information Statistical System-SEIS). Results: The frequency of alveolitis was 2.5%, with 71.8% associated with simple extractions and 28.2% with flap extractions. Among these cases, 66.7% were wet alveolitis, and 33.3% were dry alveolitis. Alveolitis occurred in 61.6% of cases in the lower arch and 38.4% in the upper arch, with 71.8% in molars, 20.5% in premolars, 5.1% in canines, and 2.6% in incisors. It was observed in 51.3% of men and 48.7% of women, 53.8% in adults, 35.9% in older adults, and 10.3% in young individuals. Bacterial origin accounted for 71.8% of cases, while 28.2% were of non-bacterial origin. Conclusion: There is a considerable percentage of alveolitis frequency in this hospital compared to global scientific evidence.
