There is no "small dense object" that orbits between Mars and Jupiter. There are however numerous asteroids which are rocky objects up to a few hundred miles in diameter that orbit in this region making up what is called the asteroid belt.
Between the orbit of Mars and Jupiter, there is the asteroid belt. This is made up of millions of small rocks that are in a direct orbit around the sun. Most of these objects are boulder sized or smaller, but some are quite large. The largest is a Dwarf planet called Ceres, which is around 975km in diameter. Its the only one in the asteroid belt called a dwarf planet as it it big enough, and has enough gravity to make itself into a spherical shape.

If by small bodies you mean planets, then Jupiter is the answer you want. If you mean dwarf planets, then you are looking for Ceres in the asteroid belt between Jupiter and Mars.

The asteroid belt, which consists of millions of individual asteroids of varying sizes - from a speck of dust to hundreds of kilometres in diameter - is located between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter. It therefore separates the inner (or rocky) planets from outer (or gas giant) planets.
All the inner planets in our solar system are all terrestrial planets. They are all small rocky planets with a relatively small atmospheres when compared to the gas giants like Jupiter and Saturn or the ice giants like Neptune and Uranus. This however is not true of other stars. Many stars have large planets very small orbits.
