Introduction: Academic performance is an essential factor in the professional training of university students, especially in high-demand disciplines such as Dentistry. Objective: To analyze how the family environment influences the academic performance of Dentistry students at the Santo Tomás University of Bucaramanga. Materials and methods: A cross-sectional analytical study was conducted with a stratified probability sample of 132 students, from the second to the tenth semester, selected from a total population of 782 enrolled in the first semester of 2025. Information was obtained through a validated questionnaire, which included data on sociodemographic aspects, family characteristics, and academic performance. For statistical analysis, univariate and bivariate tests were applied, considering a p-value ≤ 0.05 as statistically significant. Results: Emotional and economic support from the family environment was significantly related to better academic performance. Conclusions: The family environment played a fundamental role in the formative process of Dentistry students, highlighting the importance of strengthening these bonds to improve academic results.
