The purpose of the present investigation is to identify the variation of salivary pH and the risk of caries according to the CPOD index in chewers of erythroxylum coca (coca leaf) with and without llipta in the communities of Chumpe and Poques, Lamay, Calca, 2019.The study was Observational, Descriptive, Comparative and the sampling was notprobabilistic for convenience, the sample was selected according to the inclusion and exclusion criteria and was made up of 101 chewing inhabitants of coca leaf with and without llipta from the peasant communities of Chumpe and Poques. The evaluation was carried out based on a data collection sheet and the CPOD index, for which saliva samples were collected after chewing coca leaf with and without llipta, and subsequently the salivary pH measurement was performed with digital pH meter. As a result, the following salivary pH values were obtained: In coca leaf chewers with llipta 7.93 +/- 0.59 (alkaline pH) unlike coca leaf chewers without llipta 6.54 +/- 0.51 which mostly presents a (neutral pH). Regarding the risk of dental caries in coca leaf chewers with and without llipta the risk of caries was very high in both groups having a slight discrepancy, the CPOD index in chewers without llipta was 12.98 and in chewers with llipta it was from 11.04. Therefore, it is concluded that there is an increased risk of tooth decay in coca leaf growers without llipta and slightly lower in coca leaf chewers with llipta. Although dental caries is a disease of multifactorial etiology, it was observed that adding llipta to this chewing habit and its alkaline properties minimally reduced the risk of caries in this population
