The Relationship Between Periodontal State and Diabetes Duration, Insulin Dosage and Retinal Changes

Abstract: THE METABOLIC DISORDER of diabetes mellitus can be controlled by dietary means and insulin therapy or antidiabetic drugs. However, in the course of the life of the controlled diabetic patient vascular abnormalities develop in various organs. The angiopathy is particularly conspicuous in the eyes, the nervous system and the kidneys, causing blindness, neuropathy and encephalopathy, and often fatal kidney insufficiency.During the past years, several investigations have considered the possible relationship betwee… Show more

“…32 Sheridan et al 33 showed that pocket formation, presence of calculus, increased tooth mobility and tooth loss occurred with greater frequency in patients with a decreased glucose tolerance. A positive association between the variations in blood glucose level and the degree of periodontal disease was reported in DM 34 and our results agree with these findings. Periodontal health in diabetic patients was studied for the first time at the end of the l9th Century, but the first scientific analysis was made by Glickman, 1 who considered diabetes to be a predisposing factor for periodontal disease.…”

“…B. gingivalis was found in 87.5% of the samples in proportions averaging 11 % of the total cell count and as high as 25% of the total cell count. B. intermedius was found in nearly all of the samples, 93.8%, averaging 4.6% of the total cell count and up to 19%. Only two subgingival plaque samples were positive for H. actinomycetemcomitans, which was present in small numbers averaging less than 1 % of the total cell count.…”
