Abstract

Introduction: Periodontal disease is the most common chronic inflammatory disease in oral cavity, which is characterized by attachment loss, alveolar bone loss, periodontal pockets, bleeding on probing, presence of dental calculus and plaque and gingival inflammation, diabetes mellitus is a systemic disease often associated with periodontal disease. Scientific evidence shows that diabetes mellitus is a risk factor for developing periodontitis and periodontitis is a complication of diabetes. Multiple studies have shown that diabetic patients have a higher risk of developing periodontitis, and that diabetics with untreated periodontitis have more difficulty controlling serum glucose. Objective: To determine the periodontal conditions in patients diagnosed with type II diabetes mellitus. Materials and methods: the type of study is descriptive, Cross Section. In the present study, carried out 100% of the sample, ie 202 individuals in the premises of the FOSCAL during the period from November 2015 until March 2016, and socio-demographic data, medical periodontal (history of recorded disease and periodontal examination full mouth was evaluated in the number of teeth present, after calibration CPITN researchers). descriptively data for all variables were analyzed. Results: In this study no significant differences were found between patient controlled and uncontrolled with respect to the presence of periodontal pockets (p 0.970); sociodemographic characteristics as no significant difference was found between diabetes and periodontal disease evaluating sex and socioeconomic and 9 202 participants reported being smokers. Conclusions: Based on the data obtained is relevant to emphasize that although the periodontal disease is more severe in type II diabetic patients controlled and uncontrolled can not entirely isolate these two conditions since previous studies show that if there is such a relationship.
