Periodontal Disease: The sixth complication of diabetes mellitus

Abstract: Periodontal disease is a chronic inflammatory condition characterized by destruction of the periodontal tissues and resulting in loss of connective tissue attachment, loss of alveolar bone, and the formation of pathological pockets around the diseased teeth. Some level of periodontal disease has been found in most populations studied and is responsible for a substantial portion of the tooth loss in adulthood.

“…Periodontal diseases are a group of inflammatory, microbial-induced infections involving the supporting tissues of the teeth and mainly caused by gram-negative, anaerobic bacteria [1,2]. The American Society of Diabetes defined periodontal disease as the sixth complication of diabetes in 1997 [3]. Pathogens which are commonly involved in causing periodontitis are Porphyromonas gingivalis, Prevotella intermedia, Tannarella forsythia and Aggregatibacter actinomycetmcomintans, which lead to soft and hard tissue destruction, dental mobility, and the loss of dental elements [4,5].…”
