Therapeutic progress of diabetic periodontitis / 口腔疾病防治

ABSTRACT

@#In China, the prevalence of diabetes is increasing each year. Diabetic periodontitis, as a major complication of diabetes, retains a strong bidirectional correlation with diabetes. Periodontitis increases the risk of diabetes, and hyperglycemia aggravates periodontal inflammation. In recent years, efficient treatments for diabetic periodontitis have been increasingly emphasized, and the prevention and control of diabetic periodontitis remain difficult. It is very challenging to find the best way to recognize risk factors and increase the diagnosis rate. Deeply understanding the local and systematic biological features of diabetic periodontitis could lead to the development of clinical preventive and therapeutic strategies. This article reviews the clinical and biological characteristics of diabetic periodontitis and its treatment progress from a systemic and local perspective, with the aim of extending the work on the prevention and treatment strategies for diabetic periodontitis.
