The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship between nutritional status and the eruption of the upper central incisor in schoolchildren from an educational institution, Huancayo 2023. The study included 100 schoolchildren from the "María Auxiliadora" Educational Institution 30179. The study design was non-experimental, correlational, and cross-sectional. The variables of nutritional status and eruption of the incisor were analyzed using BMI and Sato's classification, respectively. The observation technique was used, and a data collection form was the instrument. Most of the students (57%) were classified as having normal weight, followed by those at risk of malnutrition. Similarly, both sexes had normal nutritional status. The majority in each age group were classified as normal weight, especially prominent in 7-year-old children (30%). On the other hand, for both upper central incisors (right and left), the majority of cases were classified as Code VI (54%), in contrast to the lower central incisors (right and left), which were mostly classified as Code VI (88%). For both sexes, the most common category was Code VI, indicating complete eruption. In older ages, more advanced eruption levels (Code VI) were more prevalent, indicating complete eruption. It is concluded that there is a significant positive correlation between nutritional status and the eruption of the upper and lower left central incisors in schoolchildren from an educational institution, Huancayo 2023.
