Periodontitis is the most common chronic inflammatory disease observed in humans, with the objective of identify the risk factors associated with chronic periodontitis in adult patients. An analytical, case-control study was carried out at the David Moreno Domínguez polyclinic in Santa Rita, Jiguaní, Granma, from October 2017 - August 2019. From a universe of 989 patients seen in the Periodontics clinic, a probabilistic sample was selected of 126 patients between 35 and 64 years old (42 cases and 84 controls). Oral examination and interview were performed. Russell's periodontal index and Love's IAHB were applied. For the univariate analysis, the ratio of crossed products Odds Ratio and Chi-Square were used, with a reliability of 95% and a probability <0.05. Smoking (OR = 9.5372; p = 0.0000), diabetes mellitus (OR = 6.4339; p = 0.0001), poor oral hygiene (OR = 5.693; p = 0.0000) and male sex (OR = 2.5294, p = 0.0281) showed an association with chronic periodontitis. The risk factor that presented the highest value of association with chronic periodontitis was smoking. Age was not a risk to take into account for the onset of the disease.

Keywords : chronic periodontitis; adult patients; risk factors.
