The use of contraceptives causes hormonal changes, which can alter estrogen and progesterone receptors. These changes may affect periodontal conditions, leading to a study aimed at determining the relationship between periodontitis and contraceptive methods in patients from the Gynecology Obstetrics service at the National Hospital Hipólito Unanue in 2019. The research was descriptive, prospective, and cross-sectional. It was found that most women using contraceptives utilized injectable methods, and the majority of these women had some form of periodontitis. Among contraceptive users, those using oral methods more frequently experienced periodontitis compared to those using injectables. Additionally, when relating the use of contraceptives to periodontitis, a difference in the proportion of women by periodontitis variable groups was found, but this difference was not statistically significant (p=0.543 (p>0.05)). The conclusion was that the use of contraceptives was not significantly statistically associated with the presence of periodontitis in the studied individuals.
