ABSTRACT

Introduction: currently, epidemiology has a new approach to the diagnosis and prognosis of periodontal disease, and have identified risk factors that affect the development and progress of this.
Objective: to determine the association of oral hygiene and smoking in the periodontal health of the patients of the René Vallejo Ortiz teaching polyclinic in Manzanillo in 2016.
Method: A cross-sectional analytical study was carried out in the Rene Vallejo Ortiz teaching polyclinic of Manzanillo in 2016. The universe was made up of 82 patients who were divided into two groups: one study and one control group. The association between oral hygiene and smoking with periodontal health was investigated using the X2 chi-square tests with a confidence level of 95 % and Odds ratio (OR).
Results: it was obtained that the age group that predominated was 35 to 40 years old (35.4 %), the pre-university educational level (32.9 %). It was proved that there is an association between smoking and oral hygiene with periodontal disease; the OR calculation indicates that smoking is a risk factor, the probability of getting sick from this group is 5.87 times. The SPSS V 20 program was used.
Conclusions: the age group that predominated was 35 to 40 years old and the level of schooling was pre-university. Smoking and oral hygiene are associated with periodontal health.
