Methods: A cross-sectional study was carried out, with a clinical approach, on the prevalence of clinical attachment loss in adolescents of the "Saman" school, data was taken from students from 15 to 17 years of age. Each student was clinically evaluated by means of an intraoral inspection with a North Carolina periodontal probe, with which the probing depth, gingival recessions, bleeding on probing and plaque index of each patient were calculated, and then the data was recorded for accounting purposes. Results: The results showed that there is clinical attachment loss of 2mm in 7.89% of the patients and 3mm in 68.43% of the students, while the remaining 23.68% presented a clinical attachment loss of 4mm. Conclusions: After the analysis of the data of this research it was possible to conclude that: The prevalence of moderate clinical insertion loss in students from 15 to 17 years of age of the "Saman" school is high. It was also concluded that the most prevalent probing depth was 3mm in 63.15%. On the other hand, the average plaque index in the students at this school was 10.39% in 63%. The patients with the highest bleeding on probing were male students with 6.60%. Finally, it was concluded that 76.32% of the students of the "Saman" school did not present gingival recession.
