Consumption of cannabis sativa as a risk factor in periodontal health among dental students at a university in Lima, 2023
(Universidad Privada Norbert Wiener, 2024-07-11) Jerí Diaz, Mario Alfonso; Chilón Minaya, Lesly Johanna
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).

Relationship between potential stress markers and periodontal health in dental students at the Norbert Wiener University – Lima, 2022
(Universidad Privada Norbert Wiener, 2024-06-04) Rincon Yslachin, Jose Miguel; Marroquín García, Lorenzo Enrique
The general objective of this study was to determine the relationship between potential stress markers and periodontal health in dental students at UPNW in 2022. The methodology employed was basic, descriptive correlational, cross-sectional, and non-experimental. An online questionnaire was applied to 120 dental students from the mentioned higher education institution. The results identified that 5.0% of the student sample with low levels of potential stress markers had poor periodontal health, 27.5% with medium levels of stress markers had regular periodontal health, and 41.7% of the student population with high levels of stress markers had good periodontal health. A high positive correlation was determined with the Spearman's Rho correlation coefficient (r = 0.781). The study concluded that potential stress markers do have a relationship with periodontal health in students at the private higher education institution Norbert Wiener in 2022.
