Introduction: the study of the frequency of diseases, including those affecting the maxillofacial region, is of fundamental importance to clinicians, epidemiologists and managers to formulate a profile of the most prevalent health problems and needs of a particular region. Such epidemiological studies reveal the prevalence of many diseases and particularize the distribution of these characteristics depending on the region or location being analyzed.Objective: the present study aimed to assess the frequency of oral lesions diagnosed in a dental clinic in the city of Montes Claros MG, Brazil.Methods: a descriptive study was conducted in patients assisted at Department of Oral Diagnosis at Universidades Norte de las Unidas Mine, Funorte / SOEBRAS, Brazil from February 2010 to July 2012.
