Research Hub
Welcome to the Research Hub – your go-to source for concise, digestible summaries of the latest research on the connection between periodontitis and diabetes. Explore key findings on topics such as how periodontal inflammation affects glycaemic control and the benefits of periodontal treatment.
Our summaries provide quick insights, but they are not exhaustive. For a complete understanding of each study’s methodology, results, and implications, we encourage you to review the original research articles. Please note that the Periodontitis-Diabetes hub is not responsible for inaccuracies or misinterpretations of condensed content.

Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is a growing global health issue, with millions remaining undiagnosed.In Singapore, diabetes prevalence is among the highest in Southeast Asia, with half of those affected unaware of their condition at diagnosis.

In 104 pregnant women, extracellular vesicles (EVs — tiny membrane-wrapped particles released by cells and bacteria that carry proteins and other molecules) collected from the gum crevice were more abundant, and had a distinctive surface-marker profile, in women with both periodontitis and gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM). Their protein cargo pointed to roles in immune inflammation, glucose metabolism and insulin response, and included virulence factors from periodontal bacteria – supporting the idea that gum-derived EVs may biologically link periodontitis and GDM.

Higher dietary quality was associated with differences in subgingival bacterial diversity and a more favourable balance of disease-associated to health-associated bacteria. These observational findings suggest a possible link between diet and the periodontal microbiome, rather than demonstrating a treatment effect.

A study of more than 8,000 adults found a link between the variety of bacteria in mouth-rinse samples and long-term health. It does not show that changing mouth bacteria will extend life or that a probiotic or mouthwash provides this benefit.

Some people with diabetes experience problems with the tissues around dental implants. Mice with diabetes and implant inflammation lost more supporting bone than mice with inflammation alone.

Health behaviours and medical measurements are often considered together when assessing cardiovascular health. People with higher overall scores were less likely to have periodontitis and tended to have less severe gum damage.

Periodontitis affects up to 45% of adults in the United States (US) and has been significantly associated with various systemic health conditions such as diabetes and cardiovascular disease. Current research suggests that periodontal disease may not only impact oral health but also influence overall mortality.

Many people think about sugar in relation to tooth decay or blood glucose. This study asked a different question – whether drinking sugary drinks more often was linked to disease affecting the tissues that support the teeth.

Periodontitis is a chronic inflammatory disease affecting the supporting structures of the teeth, leading to progressive periodontal tissue destruction and eventual tooth loss if untreated. The main aetiological factor for periodontitis is plaque. However, the two main risk factors for progression of the disease have been identified as smoking and diabetes.

06.03.24
Periodontal disease is commonly seen in individuals with diabetes, particularly with Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). The chronic inflammation associated with periodontal disease can exacerbate glycaemic control issues and contribute to the progression of diabetes. There is increased evidence regarding the bidirectional relationship between periodontitis and diabetes. Poor glycaemic control can worsen periodontal health, while periodontitis can further impair glycaemic control, creating a vicious cycle.
