Abstract

Introduction: Oral health affects quality of life and can increase risk for systemic diseases. Dental caries and tooth loss has been reported in patients with Diabetes. There is a ‘bi-directional’ relationship between Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus and periodontal disease.
Materials and Methods: 600 subjects, age group of 25-50 years was selected from 4 zones by in Durg city. From each zone one ward’s house was randomly selected. 150 subjects were examined from selected wards of each zone. Blood Glucose Test was done by using Glucometer. Periodontal status and dental caries status was recorded using CPI Index and W.H.O. Dentition Status and Treatment Needs. Statistical analyses were performed using SPSS 16.0. Descriptive statistics were calculated. Fisher’s exact test, t-test, One way ANOVA, Mann Whitney U Test and Kruskal Wallis Test were applied.
Results: Mean number of CPI score (2.88 + 0.56) was higher in T2DM subjects as compared to Nondiabetic subjects (2.05 + 0.68). Mean number of Loss of Attachment Score (0.90 + 0.49) was greater in T2DM subjects than in Nondiabetic subjects (0.24 + 0.43). There was no statistically significant difference in Mean Decayed Teeth between T2DM subjects (1.41 + 1.67) and Nondiabetic subjects (1.26 + 1.84) (p > 0.05). DMFT was statistically significant when compared between the diabetic and non-diabetic subjects (p < 0> Conclusion: Diabetic subjects were affected by a severe degree of periodontal disease in comparison to non-diabetic subjects. Dental Caries was not found to be significantly different between diabetics and non-diabetics.
