THE INTERCONNECTION BETWEEN DIABETES AND PERIODONTAL DISEASE
Abstract
This chapter explores the bidirectional relationship between diabetes mellitus and periodontal disease. Diabetes, with its systemic complications, increases the risk of periodontal infections and affects oral health. Periodontal disease, in turn, can make it difficult to control diabetes. The chapter highlights the importance of an integrated approach in dental practice, addressing the physiological and pathological bases of these conditions and effective management strategies, which is essential for dental students.
