title: Evaluation of the association between periodontal disease and diabetic retinopathy.
abstract: Periodontitis may act as a risk factor for diabetes and its various complications such as cardiorenal complications. The current literature is deficient regarding the association between periodontal disease and diabetic retinopathy (DR). This cross-sectional study of 100 type II diabetes patients sought to evaluate the association of periodontal disease with the occurrence and severity of DR. The results showed a definite association between periodontal disease status and the occurrence of DR, although a cause and effect relationship could not be established.
