Periodontal diseases assessed by average bone resorption are associated with microvascular complications in patients with type 2 diabetes.

ABSTRACT: Periodontal disease often develops in patients with diabetes, and further exacerbated with diabetic complications. It would be clinically important to clarify the relationship between diabetic microvascular diseases and periodontal disease. This study aimed to evaluate the association between periodontal disease and diabetic complications in patients with type 2 diabetes with poor glycemic control. A total of 447 patients with type 2 diabetes hospitalized at Rakuwakai Otowa Hospital, Japan, were initially recruited in this study. After excluding 134 patients who lacked clinical data or were edentulous, 312 were included in our study. The severity of periodontal disease was evaluated based on the average bone resorption rate. Patients with diabetic nephropathy developed severe periodontal d
