Tooth and Periodontal Clinical Attachment Loss Are Associated With Hyperglycemia in Patients With Diabetes

Abstract

Tooth and periodontal AL were increased by hyperglycemia in individuals with diabetes. This study contributes additional evidence that diabetes could aggravate periodontal disease and affect the systemic health of individuals.

Bayesian semiparametric variable selection with applications to periodontal data

“…A significantly positive effect of HbA1c implies patients with uncontrolled glycemic level are more likely to experience PD. This result is consistent with previous findings [48]. In addition, the log of cluster size of teeth sites confirmed a significantly negative impact on the CAL, which is intuitive given that patients with larger number of available teeth (i.e., higher log cluster size) are expected to have a lower degree of PD.…”

“…The subject-level covariates include age (in year), body mass index (BMI) (in kg/m 2 ), gender (1=female, 0=male), HbA1c (1=high, 0=controled) and smoking status (1=smoker, 0=non-smoker). In addition, the total number of available teeth (cluster size) within each mouth/subject is varying, and we included the log(cluster size) for each subject as a predictor as it is highly associated with dental health [48]. …”

Periodontal disease associated with blood glucose levels in urban Koreans aged 50 years and older: the Dong‐gu study

“…In the second aim of our study, we evaluated the relationship between the number of teeth present and glycaemic control and we found a linear relationship. Botero et al . reported an association between the number of teeth present and hyperglycaemia in patients with diabetes.…”

Impact of type 2 diabetes on the gene expression of bone-related factors at sites receiving dental implants

“…The high prevalence of periodontitis and subsequent tooth loss in diabetics represents an important health implication, 1 and treatment with dental implants is considered a therapeutic strategy for replacing lost teeth in these patients. This treatment improves masticatory function and dietary intake, which are essential in the management and improvement of quality of life of T2DM patients.…”
