Abstract
Diabetes mellitus has become a problem worldwide in
the past few decades. Already over one third of the
population of the United States suffers from diabetes
mellitus and the number of cases diagnosed is similar in
other countries such as Canada and Australia. Poorly
controlled diabetics are at a greater risk for several
other health complications including complications dealing
with oral health, particularly periodontal diseases.
Several studies have shown the relationship between
diabetes and periodontal diseases. In this paper I will
review the relationship between diabetes and periodontal
disease, touch on the responsibility of dental
practitioners towards diabetic patients, and discuss some
current and future research dealing with diabetes and oral
health.
