Material and methods: A descriptive, retrospective, cross-sectional observational, included first time patients with medical comorbidities and pregnant women who were admitted to the Dental Specialties Center from August 2018 to February 2020. Results: 636 patients were obtained; the most frequently occurring comorbidities were: cleft lip and palate, central nervous system diseases and cardiovascular diseases.
