Introduction: mastery of periodontal medicine by stomatologists is essential to raise the level of knowledge.
Objective: to apply an educational intervention on periodontal medicine to stomatologists of Nuevitas municipality in the period from January 2023 to November 2024.
Methodology: a quasi-experimental study with participatory action was carried out, where an educational intervention was applied based on the diagnosis performed to increase the level of knowledge of stomatologists in Nuevitas municipality regarding periodontal medicine. Data were processed using the statistical program SPSS 23.0.
Results: in the study sample, basic general stomatologists predominated. Regarding the level of knowledge, the vast majority were poorly informed, but after the educational intervention through the postgraduate course offered, this situation was reversed. Smoking was the topic most widely known, while ignorance prevailed among many of them regarding almost all the other topics addressed. Most participants reported being satisfied with the course delivered.
Conclusions: the low level of knowledge of the participating stomatologists in Nuevitas municipality regarding periodontal medicine was diagnosed, and the educational intervention strategy succeeded in reversing this situation. The personnel were satisfied with the course delivered.
