    The purpose of this study was to examine the association between Cannabis Sativa consumption and periodontal health among dental students from a university in Lima, 2023. A quantitative approach was chosen, and a hypothetical-deductive method was applied, using an observational correlational, non-experimental, and cross-sectional research design. The study sample consisted of 324 dental students. The findings revealed that the vast majority of students (71.9%) do not consume Cannabis Sativa and generally have good periodontal health. In contrast, a small group (0.9%) that consumes cannabis also maintains optimal periodontal health, but a slightly higher percentage (3.1%) has a periodontal health rated as regular. The most relevant finding was the discovery of a statistically significant relationship (p < 0.05) between Cannabis Sativa consumption and periodontal health. The reasons behind Cannabis Sativa consumption were explored. Among users, 61.5% claimed to use it for medical reasons and generally presented regular periodontal health. On the other hand, 15.4% consumed it recreationally, and their periodontal health varied between good and regular. Additionally, a significant relationship was found between the frequency of consumption and periodontal health (p < 0.05). However, no significant relationships were identified between the form and duration of Cannabis Sativa consumption and periodontal health (p > 0.05).
