Summary

Diabetes mellitus (DM) and periodontitis are two chronic diseases that are interconnected. The coexistence of these conditions leads to increased severity of periodontitis and challenges in controlling blood glucose levels in diabetic patients. The aim of the present study was to evaluate both the influence of periodontal disease and its treatment in patients with DM in terms of a reduction in glycosylated haemoglobin levels at 3 and 6 months after treatment.
