Treatment of periodontitis in the diabetic patient. A critical review.
Both type 1 and type 2 diabetes mellitus are associated with increased periodontal disease susceptibility. Conventional periodontal therapy appears to be effective in diabetic patients. It has not been demonstrated that chemotherapeutics are necessary for successful periodontal therapy in most diabetic patients. The effect of periodontal therapy on metabolic control of diabetes may not be clinically significant.
