 Materials and methods: A descriptive study was made with 525 patients who attended the dental practice. There were found and classified 115 dental anomalies, corresponding to 21.9% of cases.
 Results: There were found 115 cases in patients from 5 to 27 years of age, 63% of male and 37% female. The most common dental anomalies corresponded to position anomalies, with 39 cases (34%) followed by the abnormalities in number presented in 19 cases (16.5%). Anomalies of structure and color were 12.1% and the less common were root anomalies present in 6.9% of cases.
