Introduction: Research article by the Instituto Mexicano del Seguro Social (imss), 2007, and the Universidad Autónoma de San Luis Potosí, Programas de Prevención para la Salud (prevenimss) (Mexican Social Security Institute and autonomous University of San Luis Potosi, Health Prevention Programs). Systemic diseases such as Renal Failure require comprehensive health care. That is why the oral cavity is also considered to be an important aspect of the health of patients and particularly in children. That is the focus of this study, to enable patients and their parents to have a better understanding of the culture and maintenance of oral health. The objective was to evaluate the effectiveness of the implementation of an oral health education program for children patients with renal failure.

Materials and methods: Two groups were submitted for consultation: 15 children who were renal patients as the experimental group and 15 patients as the control group, all of whom were beneficiaries at the Unidad Medica Familiar Nº 5 of the Instituto Mexicano del Seguro Social, Soledad de Graciano Sánchez in San Luis de Potosí.

Results: The program, which was implemented over a period of nearly one year, showed significant results in terms of prevention and good oral conditions. Patients changed their behavior, habits and attitudes in relation to oral hygiene, cavity prevention and visits to the dentist.

Conclusion: Oral health programs as an integral part in the support of health for patients with systemic diseases can help to improve the oral health of the population.
