Diabetes and Periodontium - Periodontal Condition in Diabetic Patients

Diabetes Mellitus (DM) is a group of metabolic disorders marked by high levels of blood glucose due to defects in insulin production, insulin action or both. Periodontal disease is an inflammatory disease caused by infection and may subsequently lead to tooth loss if left untreated. Adult patient with periodontal disease with uncontrolled high blood glucose level show more severe bone loss and periodontal abscess may occur more frequently.The majority of clinical and epidemiological evidence demonstrates that individuals with diabetes tend to have a higher prevalence and more severe/rapidly progressing forms of periodontitis. Severe periodontal infections are associated with poor glycemic control and exacerbated diabetes-induced hyperglycemia. Diabetes Mellitus complications occur due to the contribution of reactive oxygen free radicals.
