Objetivo: a presente pesquisa teve como premissa analisar o conhecimento dos diabéticos acompanhados pelo HIPERDIA, do município de Anápolis-GO, a respeito da relação bilateral entre o diabetes mellitus e as doenças periodontais e verificar a assistência à saúde oferecida a esses pacientes. Material e Métodos: um questionário com 16 perguntas foi aplicado no período de janeiro a junho de 2016. Para a obtenção da amostra de pacientes foi realizado um cálculo amostral, com o grau de confiança de 95% e margem de erro de 5%, excluindo-se o percentual de pacientes edêntulos totais na região Centro-Oeste no grupo etário de idosos. Foi realizada estatística descritiva (frequências) e inferencial utilizando testes de comparação de grupos (teste exato de Fischer e o teste de Kruskall-Wallis complementado pelo teste de Mann-Whitney). Resultados: a maior parte da amostra é composta por mulheres com idade entre 22 e 61 anos. Expressiva parte dos pacientes não tem conhecimento sobre as doenças periodontais nem sobre a relação bilateral entre estas e o diabetes mellitus. Conclusão: os pacientes apresentam pouco conhecimento sobre a relação bidirecional entre as doenças e a maioria não possui acompanhamento regular de sua saúde oral pelo cirurgião-dentista.
