Gum disease of periodontitis is considered as the 6th complication of diabetes mellitus.Numerous studies have demonstrated the two way relationship between diabetes and periodontal disease.
Control of glucose levels is a must for the control of periodontal disease because the systemic factors bear a great role on the outcome of any local treatment performed.
Local treatment in lack of control of systemic factors shows a poor outcome. Depending on the extent of periodontal disease, additional treatment modalities like subantimicrobial dose Doxycycline, local durg delivery and topical/systemic antibiotics may be considered.
Studies indicate that treatment of periodontal conditions actually reduce the systemic inflammatory burden and improve the outcome of the glycemic control of the patient.
