    This research was conducted at the Universidad Privada Norbert Wiener with the aim of determining the level of knowledge about the dental management of diabetic patients in students of the 9th and 10th cycles of the School of Dentistry. The study was observational, descriptive, and cross-sectional. The sample consisted of 86 students from the 9th and 10th cycles, both male and female. To determine the level of knowledge, Castillo's (2014) survey was used, which was validated by expert judgment. The instrument consisted of 20 closed-ended questions, which were categorized as: low, regular, and high. The results showed that 62% of students had a low level of knowledge, 25% had a regular level, and 13% had a high level. It was also found that the female gender had a higher level of knowledge compared to the male gender, and students over the age of 25 had a low level of knowledge. This shows that the level of knowledge does not necessarily increase with age. It is concluded that there is a low level of knowledge about the dental management of diabetic patients in students from the 9th and 10th cycles of the School of Dentistry at Universidad Privada Norbert Wiener, and that training courses on this topic should be implemented.
