The objective of this research was to determine if there is a relationship between risk, dental caries prevalence, and the stomatological evaluation of lunchbox contents in children with deciduous dentition at the N.o 191 María Inmaculada Early Education Institution. The study was descriptive, observational, relational, and prospective, with a cross-sectional design. The sample was non-probabilistic by convenience, consisting of 159 children enrolled at the N.o 191 María Inmaculada Early Education Institution who met the inclusion criteria. A clinical form was created. To measure dental caries risk, the Cambra survey was used. To measure the prevalence of dental caries, the ceo-d index was used, and to evaluate the stomatological content of the lunchboxes, a data collection form was created with a stomatological evaluation scale, validated by expert judgment. The results showed that the dental caries risk in the children was moderate, with 59.8%. The prevalence of dental caries was high, with 84.28%, and the ceo-d index was 4.89. The stomatological evaluation of the lunchbox contents was poor, with 54.1%. A statistically significant relationship was found between the dental caries risk and the prevalence of dental caries, as well as between the prevalence of dental caries and the stomatological evaluation of lunchbox contents.
