The term “diabetes mellitus” denotes a number of diseases marked by high levels of glucose in the blood and abnormalities of fat, carbohydrate, and protein metabolism. A group of oral diseases and disorders has been associated with diabetes mellitus, and periodontitis has been identified as a probable risk

factor for poor metabolic control in subjects with diabetes.

 

Methods: The researcher reviewed the literature to characterize oral conditions that are hit by diabetes mellitus. She also scrutinized the literature related to periodontitis as a modifier of glycemic control.

 

Results: Despite the fact that a group of oral diseases and disorders has been linked to diabetes mellitus, the data braces the fact that periodontitis is a  complication of diabetes. Patients with constant and poorly controlled diabetes are at higher risk of developing oral candidiasis, and the evidence shows that periodontitis is a risk factor for poor glycemic control and the development of other clinical complications of diabetes. Evidence suggests that periodontal changes are the first clinical demonstration of diabetes.
