Summary

Diabetes mellitus, one of the major global health problems of the 21st century, is a chronic metabolic disease characterized by dysregulated nutrient metabolism resulting from defects in insulin secretion and action. Patients with diabetes mellitus are more likely to develop chronic periodontitis. A bidirectional relationship between diabetes mellitus and periodontitis has been demonstrated. Dental complications of diabetes mellitus include periodontitis and dental caries. Dental caries, resulting from tooth demineralization, are more prevalent in diabetic individuals than in non-diabetic individuals. For adults, HbA1c levels were defined as \<7% ("good" control), HbA1c levels between 7% and 8% as "inadequate" control, and levels above 8% as "poor" control. In the study conducted by the investigators, patients diagnosed with type 2 diabetes mellitus and those diagnosed with periodontitis were grouped according to HbA1C levels, and the relationship between these levels and the stage/degree of periodontitis and the degree of caries was examined. Although studies on periodontal diseases and dental caries among adults with type 2 diabetes mellitus exist in the literature, no study has, as far as is known that classifies HbA1c levels in patients with controlled and uncontrolled diabetes diagnosed with periodontitis and explains the relationship between these groups and the stage/degree of periodontitis and the degree of caries.
