Oral pathologies are among the most common diseases in the world. However, they do not affect all members of the population to the same extent, with differences based on various geographical, social, and economic factors of a given patient. The article has the aim of getting an insight into this matter, by analyzing the social status of 150 patients with OMF injuries, who were treated in the department of Dental surgery at the Dental Municipal Center in Chișinău, throughout the year of 2020.
