Objective. Periodontal Diseases are the second most prevalent disease in the oral cavity, they can cause the loss of the dental organs; On the other hand, smoking is their main risk factor. Materials and methods. A descriptive-analytical cross-sectional study was carried out. A total of 305 students underwent a clinical examination to evaluate the prevalence of Periodontitis according to the diagnostic criteria of Armitage and Eke, to later establish its possible relationship with smoking and demographic variables. The association between Periodontitis and the variables was evaluated by the chi-square test (X2) and Odds ratio (OR), values of p≤0.05 were considered significant. Results. The prevalence of periodontitis with Armitage's diagnostic method was 17.7% and with Eke's diagnostic method it was 3.3%. The risk of developing periodontitis (Armitage) in was an OR = 1.19; IC = 0.59-2.38. While with the Eke method he presented an OR = 0.88; IC = 0.18-4.26. Conclusion. The prevalence of periodontitis in the study population was low both with the diagnostic method of Armitage, and with that of Eke, compared with the prevalence of periodontitis worldwide (30% according to Armitage criteria). On the other hand, the risk of developing periodontitis in smokers was greater when using the diagnostic criteria of Armitage
