    This research aimed to determine the association between gestational age and oral alterations in babies from 0 to 12 months old at the ISOFAP Baby Clinic in Lima, 2010-2018. A descriptive, retrospective, and cross-sectional study was conducted. The population consisted of 710 medical records of infants aged 0 to 12 months. Data were recorded in a data sheet and Excel table, and then analyzed using SPSS 22 statistical software. Inferential statistics were performed using the Chi-square test and Fisher’s correction test. Results: No significant difference (p=0.556) was found between congenital oral alterations and gestational age. No significant difference was found between the presence of developmental oral alterations and gestational age (p>0.99). Bohn's nodules were found in 23%, followed by Epstein pearls (2.7%), natal teeth (0.6%), and neonatal teeth (0.6%). Premature infants (9.3%) had Bohn's nodules (9.3%) and Epstein pearls (9.3%) but did not have natal or neonatal teeth. It is noteworthy that term infants developed more congenital oral alterations (22.1%) than preterm and postterm infants (2.8%).
