Objective: to develop a computer application model for the management of clinical records for dental prosthetics. Method: a technological development research was carried out. The target group was comprised of the dentistry clinics of Pinar del Río municipality and the sample belonged to the pilot institutions: Pedro Borrás Astorga University Polyclinic and Antonio Briones Montoto Teaching Dentistry Clinic, both from Pinar del Río municipality. Results: a product developed with free software was obtained, which facilitates the operation of the system, defining all the information architecture of the clinical records for dental prosthetics and a model that shows the computer functions. Conclusions: a model was designed for the management of the clinical records for dental prosthetics to implement a computerized system through a friendly and interactive interface, contributing to a high degree of computerization, promotion of innovation, increasing the quality of services and benefits for patients and professionals.
