    The study titled "Association of Dark Extrinsic Dental Pigmentation and Dental Caries in Primary School Students of Educational Institutions in the Cieneguilla District 2023" aimed to determine the relationship between dark extrinsic dental pigmentation and the degree of caries in primary school students of educational institutions in the Cieneguilla district in 2023, as well as to determine the prevalences of dark dental pigmentation, the Shourie index, and dental caries. The methodology used was hypothetical-deductive, observational, and analytical, with a quantitative approach, non-experimental design, and cross-sectional study. The results showed a significant relationship between dark pigmentation and the degree of caries in the students, with an association degree of 27%. The percentage proportion of caries gradually decreased in children with dark pigmentation. The prevalence of caries was found to be 85.7%, the group COP-D index was 4.14, the group caries index was 2.9, and the filling and extraction index was 0.05, respectively. It was concluded that there is a high prevalence of caries in the studied population, along with a 5.8% prevalence of extrinsic dark pigmentation, with a high prevalence of dark pigmentation of grade 3. The group COP index (4.1) is moderate, and the group caries index of 2.9 significantly lower than the COP index indicates that untreated caries prevalence is the main contributor to the COP index, and the low index (0.05) of fillings and extractions (0.05) can be interpreted as a lack of education in oral care and hygiene.
