Objective: To determine the association between vegan diet and self-perceived periodontal status in the vegan population of Lima Metropolitan, Peru. Materials and Methods: A total of 240 people (120 vegans and 120 non-vegans) were surveyed in this study during the months of August to December 2020 in virtually way. To evaluate the self-perception of periodontal status and oral hygiene habits, the self-report of periodontal disease was used, which is validated with a cronbach's alpha of 0.77. In addition, other variables such as age, sex, socioeconomic level, educational level, and tobacco consumption were evaluated. . Poisson regression with robust variance estimator was used both for the association of the variables and prevalence ratios were reported in a crude and adjusted model. The confidence level was 95% and the significance level was p <0.05. Result: A statistically significant association was found between the appearance of reddish and / or swollen gums (PR = 0.67; 95% CI: 0.25-0.54) and poor perception of the state of the gums (PR = 0.43; 95% CI: 0.33-0.56) with the vegan diet. Finally, for the gum bleeding dimension during brushing, no statistically significant differences were observed between vegans and non-vegans. Conclusions: An association was found between the vegan diet with the appearance of reddish and / or swollen gums and poor perception of the state of the gums of the self-perception of the periodontal state.
