Comparing Endodontic Treatment Prevalence in Diabetes Mellitus and Non-Diabetic Periodontitis Patients: A Retrospective Case-Control Investigation.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

Apply a case-control retrospective analysis to assess possible differences in the prevalence of endodontically treated teeth in patients with diabetes(DM) and non-diabetics(NDM).

Methods
