Increased periodontal bacteria in gestational diabetes

09.05.15

Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) and periodontal inflammation are independently associated with adverse pregnancy outcomes, including preterm birth, preeclampsia, and low birth weight.

Periodontitis and retinal blood vessel changes in diabetes

07.04.15

Severe periodontitis was associated with wider retinal venules (the small vessels carrying blood away from the retina). The association was significant in participants with diabetes, but not in those without diabetes.

Pre-diabetes and periodontitis – is there a link?

13.03.15

• Diabetes mellitus (DM) is associated with severe systemic and oral health complications, including periodontitis, which is characterised by gum inflammation, periodontal tissue damage, and tooth loss.
• Pre-diabetes, a metabolic condition with elevated blood glucose levels below the diabetic threshold, is also linked to complications like nephropathy and neuropathy.

Nutrition, pre-diabetes and periodontal bone loss in rural Java

12.02.15

This study examined the relationship between periodontal bone loss, nutrition, blood glucose and inflammation in an Indonesian population with limited access to dental care. Greater bone loss was associated with higher levels of periodontal bacteria and systemic inflammation, alongside lower body mass index and less frequent guava consumption. No significant association with HbA1c was identified.

Dental patients identified with hyperglycaemia

Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a significant global health challenge, with Type 2 diabete mellitus (T2DM) often going undiagnosed for years. It is estimated that 46% of diabetes cases worldwide remain undiagnosed, contributing to delayed treatment and increased complications.

The effect of obesity on the success of periodontal treatment

• Diabetes mellitus (DM) is associated with severe systemic and oral health complications, including periodontitis, which is characterised by gum inflammation, periodontal tissue damage, and tooth loss.
• Pre-diabetes, a metabolic condition with elevated blood glucose levels below the diabetic threshold, is also linked to complications like nephropathy and neuropathy.

FGF-2 improves periodontal healing in diabetic rats through cell proliferation and blood-vessel maturation

05.12.14

In rats with newly induced diabetes, surgically created periodontal defects healed poorly. A single application of fibroblast growth factor-2 (FGF-2 – a signalling protein that drives cell growth and blood-vessel formation) mixed with a carrier gel produced more new bone, thicker bone trabeculae (the fine internal beams of spongy bone), less unwanted downgrowth of gum epithelium into the defect, and better-quality blood vessels. However, it did not restore new cementum, indicating that a single dose is not enough for full periodontal regeneration in diabetes.

Periodontal findings in newly diagnosed individuals with pre-diabetes or diabetes

• Diabetes mellitus (DM) is associated with severe systemic and oral health complications, including periodontitis, which is characterised by gum inflammation, periodontal tissue damage, and tooth loss.
• Pre-diabetes, a metabolic condition with elevated blood glucose levels below the diabetic threshold, is also linked to complications like nephropathy and neuropathy.

Evaluating the role of doxycycline in managing periodontitis in people living with type 2 diabetes

• Diabetes mellitus (DM) is associated with severe systemic and oral health complications, including periodontitis, which is characterised by gum inflammation, periodontal tissue damage, and tooth loss.
• Pre-diabetes, a metabolic condition with elevated blood glucose levels below the diabetic threshold, is also linked to complications like nephropathy and neuropathy.

Antibiotics alongside non-surgical therapy in patients with type 2 diabetes

Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a common condition linked to systemic and oral complications, including periodontitis, with evidence of a bidirectional relationship between the two.
