Objective: To determine the association of body mass index with the presence of dental caries in schoolchildren aged from 6 to 12 years attending to the school No. 7076 “Brisas de Villa“ UGEL - 07 - Chorrillos in 2016. Methods: The present study was descriptive and cross-sectional. It was performed on 402 schoolchildren from ages 6 and 12, men and female. Likewise, CMF / dmf, DMF with gender, age and O'leary index were associated. Results: 402 schoolchildren were observed and dental caries was evaluated clinically by the DMF and dmf index, obtaining an average value of 2.09 ± 2.48 and for the dmf of 4.09 ± 3.79. 52.24% of the students were not overweight or obese, 25.37% were found to have an overweight problem and 22.39% were found to have obesity problems. There was no statistically significant association between BMI and presence of dental caries. However, there was an association between dental caries and oral hygiene index. Conclusion: There is no significant relationship between dental caries and BMI in the study population. However, the presence of dental caries and nutritional problems in schoolchildren are high.
