title: [Diabetes and periodontal therapy].
abstract: The relationships of diabetes to periodontal diseases are still not elucidated. Due to the increasing morbidity of the two diseases, it becomes more and more frequent that they occurr both in the same patient. There is no doubt that periodontal disease is at least aggravated by diabetes. This is corroborated by the author's experienence. The control and dispensary treatment of diabetics by a stomatological nurse are regarded as a possibility of early detection of periodontal disease and, thus, of preservation of the teeth.
