Objective: To determine the consumption of marijuana and clinical features of periodontal tissue in patients of the Rehabilitation Center “Fuente de Agua Viva.“ Material and Methods: Descriptive and transversal. The sample consisted of 60 patients of the Rehabilitation Center “Fuente de Agua Viva” whose ages ranged from 18 to 50 years. Results: We found that the highest frequency of consumption of marijuana was more than 2 times a day, time of consumption between 1 to 5 years and the consumption of cigarettes was used. The largest number of patients had no periodontal pocket (86.7%) and gingival bleeding (51.7%) but a slight degree of adherence clinic (60%) and moderate (33.3%). Besides the 96.7% showed no commitment to furca; the 96.7% had no dental mobility, the 81.7% presented gingival, gingival recession, the 78.3% and 63.3% of patients a level of regular oral hygiene. Conclusion: Periodontal disease has been defined in terms of etiology, as a multifactorial disease, where plaque acts as master and other factors, or predisposing risk, helping to improve the act of the individual probabilities of contracting the disease. Our study found that although the highest frequency of consumption (more than 2 times a day), time of consumption (between 1 to 5 years) and the most widely used form of consumption (smoking) demonstrated that Most patients had an average level of adherence clinic mild, moderate, absence of periodontal pockets, gingival bleeding, tooth mobility and furcation commitment to further the level of oral hygiene was regular. Therefore there is no assurance that marijuana causes direct damage to periodontal tissues, but there are other factors contributing to the change in the results. Keywords: Drug consumers, marijuana addiction, periodontal disease.
