    Objective: To determine the influence of Vitamin D3 in patients with periodontitis attending a private consultation in Arequipa, Peru. Methodology: This study is deductive, quantitative, and applied. The study involved 40 patients aged 18 to 60 years who visited the Dentistry service at the Regional Military Hospital of Arequipa. The patients were divided into two groups: 20 patients diagnosed with periodontitis and 20 patients without periodontitis serving as the control group. A periodontogram and Vitamin D3 analysis were required for each patient. Results: Periodontal patients were characterized by having lower Vitamin D3 concentrations compared to the controls, and women were more prone to periodontitis as Vitamin D3 levels decreased. Periodontal patients tended to be older compared to the controls. There was no significant relationship between sex and the presence of periodontal disease. The majority of periodontal patients were in stage I, with the smallest percentage in stage IV. Conclusion: There is an association between Vitamin D3 levels and periodontitis in patients who attended the private consultation in Arequipa, Peru.
