An observational, descriptive and cross-sectional study was carried out in the Güines stomatological clinic, from September 2018 to October 2020 with the aim of identifying the main injuries according to the assaulted element for which patients request immediate attention. Out of a total of 9,750 patients, a study population of 320 patients with prostheses with attacks on the paraprosthetic organ was obtained. The interrogation, the oral examination and the temporomandibular joint were carried out. Data were collected on a spreadsheet and X2 and Duncan were used for statistical analysis. The mucosa was the most affected element (73.44%) while inflammatory states (2.50%), periodontal pain (2.81%), grade II sub-prosthetic stomatitis (36.88%), myalgias (5.94%) and combinations of joint symptoms and signs (5.94%) were the main injuries for which patients requested emergency treatment.
