Effects of Diabetes Mellitus On Periodontal Health: Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus
Many studies have shown a greater incidence and a greater severity of periodontitis
that periodontitis may actually be a risk factor for diabetic complications as well
prevalence of diabetes in the world. Countries exhibiting the fastest rate in diabetic
population growth include India and China, among many other developing
Periodontal diseases are chronic inflammatory diseases of the tissues that support
and attach the teeth to the jaws (Offenbacher, 1996). They are caused by gram-
negative bacterial infections and are for the most part, asymptomatic; although
much of the actual destructive tissue changes observed clinically are results of the
Periodontal disease (PD) is the second main cause of oral cavity disorders affecting
the population due to its high prevalence (Petersen, 2003). It is more frequent in
adults in contrast to cavities which are more common and much more frequent in
diabetes who have poor glycemic control than that in patients with well-controlled
mechanisms by which diabetes can influence the periodontium which include the
following:
Without mechanical debridement, the plaque biofilm matures and causes gingivitis
in a few days. Gingivitis represents chronic but reversible inflammation and can be
usually treated by proper plaque control and accumulation of plaque acts as a local

chronic inflammatory process of periodontitis and the host response provide the
basis for the hypothetical association between periodontitis and CVD (Zamirian, et

Depending on the oral manifestation the dentists and physicians make attention and
herald the onset of the disease which requires the dentists to better knowledge of
changes in the oral cavity. In the oral cavity local symptoms and findings of
