“…Fortunately, the percentages are still considerably high. The similar trend was also seen in the study of Ikimi et al, (2018) [ 19 ]. They found 84.3% of Nigerian physicians agreed on the effect of periodontitis on the blood sugar control.…”

Background: Diabetes mellitus (DM) is one of the top causes of death in many places of the world. Diagnosing DM in the early stage is necessary to avoid severe cases and death. Objectives: To evaluate the knowledge of association between DM and periodontal disease (PD) among Thai physicians and assess their attitudes towards DM screening in dental clinics in Thailand. Methods: Online survey of currently practicing physicians in Thailand was conducted on voluntary basis using the newly developed questionnaire. Result: We received 403 responses that are statistically sufficient to represent the entire population of currently practicing physicians in Thailand. A total of 97.3% of all responses indicate that Thai physicians have knowledge about the association between DM and PD. More than 90% know that DM has an effect on PD; however, 70% know about the effect of untreated PD in DM patients. Most of physicians think that DM screening in dental clinics is important (79.1%) and are ready to accept referred cases for definite DM diagnosis from a dentist (84.1%). The concerned issues among the participants were the accuracy of the test results in DM screening (73%) and ability of a dentist to perform the screening (71.5%). Conclusions: The majority of participating physicians have adequate knowledge about the bidirectional relationship between DM and PD. They have a positive attitude towards DM screening in dental setting. The collaboration between physicians and dental professionals should be established to reduce the number of undiagnosed DM patients and enhance the medical care of DM patients.

“…Also, the correlation between the systemic health status of the patients and the number of missing teeth was found to be statistically signi icant. This is in agreement with previous study by (Ikimi et al, 2017), where statistically signi icant correlation was observed between the systemic health status of the patients and the number of missing teeth.…”

Periodontitis refers to infectious disease affecting both hard and soft tissues of the oral cavity. The disease is modified by a variety of risk factors such as tobacco smoking, poor oral hygiene, systemic diseases, hereditary, malnutrition. The relation between diabetes and periodontitis is bidirectional. Diabetes increases the risk of periodontal disease progression resulting in early tooth loss. The aim of this study was to assess tooth loss in chronic periodontitis patients with and without diabetes. This cross-sectional study was conducted among 400 chronic periodontitis patients (200 in each group; Group 1: Diabetes; Group 2: Non-diabetes) reported to Saveetha Dental College and Hospitals, Chennai. Based on the clinical examination data, all missing teeth except third molars were recorded in both groups. In group 1; among 200 diabetic patients, 1002 missing teeth were observed and in group 2; among 200 non-diabetic individuals, 638 missing teeth were observed. Also, the correlation between the systemic health status of the patients and the number of missing teeth was assessed. It was found to be statistically significant with the p-value of 0.00. The present study suggests that the prevalence of tooth loss was high among chronic periodontitis patients with diabetes (1002 missing teeth) compared to chronic periodontitis patients without diabetes (638 missing teeth)

“…Furthermore, research conducted by Ikimi et al [9] conducted in FCT Abuja, Nigeria shows a significant increase in tooth decay with subsequent tooth loss in addition with symptoms of periodontal disease among diabetic patients than non-diabetic, which is also in line with our research that shows a positive correlation between diabetes mellitus and periodontal diseases. In addition, Molina et al, [10] reported that diabetes mellitus may be considered among the risk factor for the appearance of periodontal disease.…”

Periodontal disease is a common oral infection that affects the tissues that surrounds and support the teeth. The aim of the research was to study the relationship between diabetes and periodontal disease. The data was collected at Murtala Muhammad Specialist Hospital, Kano where a thorough review of patients’ record (files) who visited or were admitted at the facility within the period of January 2022-May 2023. Correlation coefficients showed the existence of a strong relationship between diabetes and periodontitis. Out of 80 patients with diabetes mellitus; 52(65%) had periodontal disease, 36(45%) were males and the disease was severe within the age range of 55-74; 16 (20%) were females with the disease being severe within the age range of 75 and above while 28 (35%) had no periodontal disease. Twenty percent of the patients had gingivitis, 15% have mild periodontitis, 20% have moderate periodontitis, 10% have severe periodontitis and 35% had no periodontitis. There exists strong relationship between diabetes mellitus and periodontal disease, the poorer the glycaemic control, and the longer the duration of diabetes mellitus; the greater will be the increased risk and severity of periodontitis.
