GINGIVAL INFLAMMATION AS A SIGN OF DIABETIC SYSTEMIC CHRONIC COMPLICATIONS
to an endocrinologist for prompt treatment of the underlying disease and DM complications. For proper dental care the dentist should be aware of the diabetic status of each patient. Information on the levels of HbA1c over a longer period of time and the presence / absence of any diabetic complications is needed in assessing periodontal prognosis and the need for periodontal therapy on individual basis. Close collaboration between the patient, the primary health care and oral health professionals, and application of new therapeutic modalities could be a way of improving the diabetic patient’ s general and oral health 7, 8.
6. Conclusion It is observed that pronounced gingival inflammation in diabetics is associated with systemic diabetic chronic microvascular complications and poor glycemic control. As periodontal disease is a complex multifactorial disease related to DM, the prevention and control of periodontal disease must be considered an integral part of DM control. The findings in this study highlight a need to promote oral health in patients with DM as an integral component of total patient care.
