ABSTRACT
Aims:
To provide updated knowledge on the relationship between periodontal disease and diabetes from an oralhealth perspective.Methods:
A review of the English-language literature was performed, gathering articles on the two diseases publishedover the past 10 years.Results:
Both diseases result from the confluence of various triggering and modifying factors, and there are interindividualdifferences in the risk of their development. Recent research has shown that diabetes may increase therisk of periodontitis, and it has been proposed that chronic periodontal disease may influence the natural course ofdiabetes. There appears to be an association among oral infections, impaired sugar metabolism, and atherosclerosis,indicating a theoretical link between metabolic syndrome and periodontal disease.Clinical implications Control of periodontal disease may enhance glycemic control in patients with type 2 diabetes.In turn, improved glycemic control may contribute to a better control of periodontal disease (AU)RESUMEN
