Abstract
The two-way association between diabetes and periodontitis, a highly prevalent but largely hidden chronic inflammatory disease, is widely accepted.1 Patients with diabetes have a three to fourfold increased prevalence of severe periodontitis, and the severity of periodontitis is associated with poor glycaemic control.2
Periodontitis has been linked to an increase in insulin resistance, even in people without diabetes.3 Adverse outcomes in diabetes (including the increased risks of heart disease, stroke and early mortality) are more likely in the presence of periodontitis.4 For example, severe periodontitis is associated with a threefold increase in the incidence of end-stage renal disease in diabetes compared to patients who lack such disease.
