In order to obtain the basic data of periodontal treatment in diabetic patients, the periodontal status of 104 diabetic outpatients was compared with 127 other persons not having diabetes mellitus in Kyungpook National University Hospital, using Russell's periodontal index.
It was found that:
The severity of periodontal disease was significantly greater among the diabetic group(5.32±1.04) than among the non-diabetic group of patients(4.43±0.91). (p<0.001).
Male periodontal status was the same as the female's in diabetic & control group.
As age increased, the severity of periodontal disease increased significantly in diabetic and control group.
The periodontal status of lower anterior teeth (5.82±0.84) was worst in diabetic group.
The longer morbidity period in diabetic group, the worse periodontal status.(p<0.001).
