Diabetes and periodontitis have a bidirectional relationship, wherein poor glycemic control aggravates periodontal disease, and periodontal inflammation worsens insulin resistance. Periodontal therapy can improve glycemic control, highlighting the need for integrated dental and medical care.

  • Understand the bidirectional relationship between diabetes mellitus and periodontitis.
  • Explain the underlying inflammatory and immunological mechanisms linking the two conditions.
  • Highlight the impact of glycemic control on periodontal health.
  • Assess the influence of periodontal disease on metabolic regulation.
  • Promote evidence-based and interdisciplinary management strategies for patients with diabetes and periodontitis.
