Background and purpose: Diabetes is one of the most common diseases in the world, and blood sugar control and periodontal diseases are mutually related. The aim of this study was to investigate the periodontal status of people with type 2 diabetes referred to Imam Khomeini and Touba Medical Centers in Sari during 2018-2019.
Materials and methods: This descriptive cross-sectional study included 107 randomly selected patients who were diagnosed with type 2 diabetes (controlled and uncontrolled). HbA1C values were evaluated to check the diabetes status of the patients, and Community Periodontal Index (CPI) was evaluated to check the periodontal status. Statistical analysis was performed using SPSS V24.
Results: All the 107 patients were females, with an average age of 49.7±11.2. Diabetes was controlled in 46.7% of the patients, while 37.4% of the patients had uncontrolled diabetes. In the examination of periodontal condition, 40.2% were healthy, 30.8% had gingivitis, and 29% had periodontitis. The value of CPI was 1.8 ± 0.5, and code 3 (envelope 4-5 mm) was the most frequent index.
Conclusion: Since the highest frequency of Community Periodontal Index of Treatment Needs (CPITN) was related to code 3 (4-5 mm packet depth), it is recommended that diabetic patients fulfill their oral hygiene and make regular visits to the dentist for follow up examinations.
