    Objective: To determine the prevalence of black dental pigmentation due to ferrous sulfate consumption in children aged 3 to 5 years treated at the Odontolian dental clinic. Methodology: A retrospective study was conducted by analyzing the medical records of the Odontolian dental clinic in the Ventanilla district. A data collection instrument was created containing items related to children who consumed ferrous sulfate as a preventive measure and/or treatment for anemia. Permission was obtained from the general manager of the establishment to review the medical records, and with his authorization, the records were analyzed, gathering the necessary information for the research. The following findings were made. Results: 98.6% of the children exhibited black dental pigmentation due to ferrous sulfate consumption, with 34.4% of the children being male and 65.6% being female. Regarding age, 23.2% were 3 years old, 42.8% were 4 years old, and 34% were 5 years old. Of the children with pigmentation, 4.9% had black pigmentation only on molars, and 85.1% had pigmentation on incisors, canines, and molars. Concerning the duration of ferrous sulfate consumption, 3.3% of children consumed it for 1 month, 9.7% for 3 months, and 87% for 6 months. Conclusion: The prevalence of black dental pigmentation due to ferrous sulfate consumption in children aged 3 to 5 years at the Odontolian dental clinic is 98.6%.
