Periodontal condition and type 2 diabetes risk: 15-year follow-up results

22.08.18

Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is a metabolic disorder characterised by insulin resistance and elevated blood glucose levels, influenced by factors like obesity and inflammation.

One-stage versus quadrant-by-quadrant non-surgical periodontal therapy in type 2 diabetes

19.07.18

Patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) exhibit higher prevalence and severity of chronic periodontitis compared to individuals without diabetes.
Non-surgical periodontal therapy (NSPT), including scaling and root planing (SRP), has been suggested to improve glycaemic control in T2DM patients.

Impact of glycaemic status on the subgingival microbiome in diabetes

09.05.18

The human microbiome plays a vital role in health, with links between gut microbiota and metabolic disorders like type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM).The oral microbiota, particularly the subgingival microbiome, is thought to be influenced by diabetes.

Periodontal disease and gestational diabetes: a prospective cohort study

03.04.18

Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) is a carbohydrate intolerance which begins during pregnancy, with Indian women at significantly higher risk (approximately 11-fold) compared to Caucasians.

Analysis of systemic inflammation on the link between periodontitis and glycaemic status

03.03.18

• Emerging evidence suggests that periodontitis may increase the risk of developing type 2 diabetes.
• Cross-sectional studies, such as NHANES III in the US and KNHANES in Korea, have shown that periodontitis is associated with impaired fasting glucose and diabetes.
• Prospective studies in the US, Germany, and Japan further confirmed that individuals with periodontitis have poorer glycaemic control and higher risk of diabetes.

Periodontitis and retinal vessel health

31.01.18

Chronic periodontitis is a common inflammatory disease that causes progressive bone loss and, if untreated, can lead to tooth loss.

Non-surgical periodontal treatment benefits people living with diabetes

19.12.17

• Diabetes mellitus (DM) is associated with severe systemic and oral health complications, including periodontitis, which is characterised by gum inflammation, periodontal tissue damage, and tooth loss.
• Pre-diabetes, a metabolic condition with elevated blood glucose levels below the diabetic threshold, is also linked to complications like nephropathy and neuropathy.

Prevalence of diabetes in people with periodontitis

10.11.17

Periodontitis is a widespread condition affecting over half of the global adult population, with prevalence increasing with age.Severe periodontitis is one of the most common human diseases, contributing significantly to tooth loss.

Periodontal treatment and improved glycaemic management among elderly individuals

23.07.17

Diabetes mellitus (DM), particularly type 2 (T2DM), is prevalent in the elderly and associated with complications like neuropathy, retinopathy, and cardiovascular issues. Poor glycaemic management exacerbates these complications, significantly affecting quality of life. Periodontitis, a chronic inflammatory disease of the gums, is common in individuals with T2DM. Research indicates a two-way relationship: Periodontitis worsens gum health, while DM elevates systemic inflammation, impairing blood glucose control. In Japan, over half the population aged 40+ years experiences periodontitis. Addressing periodontitis could potentially improve glycaemic management in people with T2DM. This study aimed to assess whether dental visits for periodontal treatment correlate with improved diabetes outcomes in an elderly Japanese cohort.

Cost-effectiveness of treating periodontitis in patients with diabetes

23.06.17

There is increasing evidence linking periodontal inflammation to elevated glycated haemoglobin (HbA1c) levels in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Periodontal disease is more prevalent in those with T2DM and contributes to chronic inflammation, potentially raising HbA1c levels. Persistently high HbA1c can lead to severe complications such as cardiovascular disease, blindness, amputations, renal failure, and premature death.
