Managing patients with Diabetes in Daily Dental practice  - Myths, Facts & Clinical insights!

Diabetes and periodontitis share a well-established bidirectional relationship, with each condition worsening the progression and severity of the other. Poor glycemic control increases susceptibility to periodontal inflammation, while effective periodontal therapy can support improved metabolic outcomes. Dental professionals play a key role in early detection, risk assessment, and coordinated management of diabetic patients. Comprehensive care involves understanding systemic impacts, recognizing oral manifestations, adapting clinical protocols, and collaborating with medical providers to optimize glycemic control. As diabetes prevalence continues to rise, integrating periodontal management into routine dental care is essential for improving both oral and systemic health outcomes.
