Investigation of the Association of Periodontal Diseases and Diabetes

Abstract

Periodontitis and diabetes mellitus have been linked as having a bidirectional cyclical association, with periodontitis aggravating hyperglycemia and diabetes causing oral illness. Of the extreme incidence and intensity in diabetic patients, the disease of periodontal tissue is considered the sixth significant consequence of diabetes. It is possible to avoid significant morbidity and mortality from diabetes by diagnosing the condition early in patients with periodontitis. Periodontitis may get better with diabetes treatment, too. In this review, we will discuss the state of our understanding of how these two entities interact and interact with one another as well as the information that is currently available on how to treat the two entities jointly.
