The purpose of this research was to evaluate the characteristics of occlusion in children that participated in the Oral Health Prevention Program and to compare them with other children in the same age group who did not participate in prevention programs. A total of 100 children between the ages of 5 - 9 years old were examined in the mixed dentition stage (first transitory period and intertransitory period), in the Odontopediatrics Clinic from Faculty of Dentistry of Araçatuba-UNESP. The obtained data were compared with information extracted from literature researches that did not performed dental preventive procedures. The results show that among the 100 patients analyzed, 49% of the children present normal occlusion. On the malocclusions incident 33% present class I, 17% class II, and 1% class III. In addition 3% had anterior crossbites, 5% unilateral posterior crossbites and 1% bilateral posterior bites. Regarding the level of overbite, 84% presents normal overbite with no deep bite, and 17% open bites. When compared with the literature 40.60% presents Class I, 21.60% Class II and 6.20% Class III; 10.41% has anterior crossbites, 6.45% unilateral posterior crossbite, and 2.72% bilateral posterior bite. In relation to the level of overbite, 34.46% present normal overbite, 18.09% deep bite, and 15.85% open bites. The conclusion of this research is that the effective prevention and interception programs should be introduced in the deciduous and mixed teething phase, establishing a more suitable occlusion development
