Purpose: The study aimed to determine the DMFT (Decayed, Missing, and Filled Teeth) index, salivary flow volume, and salivary pH level in pregnant and non-pregnant adolescents at the Second Level Hospital Barranca - Cajatambo. Data Collection and Analysis: Data were recorded on a form and statistically analyzed using SPSS software version 21.0. Statistical tests used included Chi-square (X2) and Spearman's correlation coefficient, with a significance level of 0.05. Conclusions: It was found that 63.10% of the pregnant adolescent group belonged to the late adolescence stage, with these results being statistically significant (p=0.000). The DMFT index for pregnant adolescents was high at 50.80%, with these results being statistically significant (p=0.00). It was observed that the salivary flow volume (ml/min) was high in the group of non-pregnant adolescents, with these results being statistically significant (p=0.00). Pregnant adolescents showed an acidic salivary pH level of 66.5%, with these results being statistically significant (p=0.00). Additionally, it was found that pregnant adolescents aged 17 to 19 years had a high DMFT index (5.95 ± SD 5.47), with these results being statistically significant (p=0.008 and 0.002). Finally, the relationship between DMFT and salivary flow volume and DMFT and salivary pH level showed statistically non-significant results (p>0.05).
