Evaluation of Oral-Dental Health in Patients with Periodontal Pathology and Diabetes

Abstract The present research attempts to assess the orodental health status of patients in the research group. The research group has been composed of 210 subjects, from both urban and rural areas, having periodontal pathologies and disorders of the glucidic metabolism. In order to obtain information about the orodental health condition as well as the orodental hygiene, we have applied the questionnaire method, this being well individualized and adapted to be relevant to the present study. Following the statistical analysis of the results, it appears that the subjects of the research group show a more pronounced periodontal pathology comparative to the control group. The study results highlight the importance of dentists’ knowledge of diagnostic techniques, treatment and prevention of orodental pathologies on patients with diabetes.
