A cross-sectional study was conducted. Information concerning the study variables was collected via a home survey. The sample size was established with a 95% confidence interval level (381 individuals). A simple random sampling design was used, which was complemented with a non-probability quota sampling. The data was analyzed using SPSS version 21.0 and Epidat version 3.1 softwares. Socio-economic level, dental health coverage, perception of oral health care, perception of oral health, knowledge about oral health, and oral hygiene habits were significantly associated with the UDHS over the last twelve months. These same factors, excluding dental health coverage and knowledge about oral health, were associated with the UDHS for routine dental check-ups. Measures should be implemented to increase the UDHS for prevention purposes in men and women of all socio-economic levels, particularly in less-privileged individuals. El presente trabajo se propone analizar los factores asociados a la utilización de servicios de salud odontológicos (USSO) en individuos adultos de la Ciudad de Corrientes; Argentina. Se realizó un estudio transversal. A través de una encuesta domiciliaria se recolectó información de las variables de estudio. Se determinó el tamaño de la muestra estableciéndose un nivel de confianza del 95% (381 individuos). Se aplicó un diseño muestral aleatorio simple, que se complementó con un muestreo no probabilístico por cuotas. Se analizaron los datos con los programas SPSS 21.0. y Epidat 3.1. El nivel socioeconómico, la cobertura social odontológica, la percepción sobre la salud bucal, los conocimientos de salud bucal y los hábitos de higiene bucal se asociaron significativamente a la USSO en los últimos 12 meses. Los mismos factores, a excepción de la cobertura social odontológica y de los conocimientos de salud bucal, se asocian a la USSO por motivos de control/chequeo dental de rutina. Se deben implementar medidas tendientes a aumentar la USSO con fines de prevención en individuos de ambos sexos, de todos los niveles socioeconómicos, especialmente en aquellos menos favorecidos.
