Background/objectives: The objective was to study theprevalence and severity of periodontal disease in type II DMpatients in Gulbarga, Karnataka, India.Materials and methods: A total of 100 type II DM patients and100 nondiabetic patients with age group of 35 to 75 years wereexamined. The study group was divided into well, moderateand poorly controlled diabetes based on glycated hemoglobin(HbA1C) levels. Information regarding age, oral hygiene habits,personal habits, diabetic status and mode of diabetic therapywas obtained. Community periodontal index of treatment needs(CPITN) was used to assess the periodontal status. The resultswere statistically evaluated.Results: The mean CPITN score and the number of missingteeth was higher in diabetics compared to nondiabetics andwas statistically significant (p = 0.05). The prevalence ofperiodontal disease was found to be more frequent and severein diabetic patients as compared to nondiabetics. The risk factorslike glycated hemoglobin HbA1C, duration of diabetes, personalhabits and oral hygiene habits showed a positive correlationwith periodontal destruction, whereas mode of diabetic therapyshowed negative correlation with the periodontal status.Conclusion: Diabetic patients showed higher prevalence andseverity of periodontal disease compared to nondiabetics.
