The objective of the research was to determine the relationship between the level of oral health knowledge of mothers and the presence of cavities in children aged 8 to 12 years in public and private educational institutions in Lima, 2018. The method used was descriptive, correlational, and cross-sectional. The sample consisted of 98 mothers and 98 children aged 8 to 12 years from the Thales Colina Educational Institution – Callao (Private). Additionally, 95 mothers and 95 children aged 8 to 12 years from Francisco Bolognesi Educational Institution (Public), totaling 386 participants. The instruments used were an oral health questionnaire and an intraoral clinical examination with a dental chart. The most representative results of the research revealed that both educational institutions had, for the most part, higher percentages of a “deficient” level of knowledge, and lower percentages of a “very good” level of knowledge in oral health among mothers of children aged 8 to 12 years in the mentioned institutions. Furthermore, both the public and private educational institutions mostly presented higher percentages of “severe” dental caries and lower percentages of “healthy” dental caries. Finally, it was found that there is a significant relationship between the level of oral health knowledge of mothers and the presence of cavities in children aged 8 to 12 years in both educational institutions.
