Abstract

INTRODUCTION: Diabetes and periodontal disease have a bidirectional relationship, where high blood glucose levels favor the progression of periodontal disease (PD). OBJECTIVE: To describe the levels of glycosylated hemoglobin as a predisposing factor to the severity of periodontal disease.MATERIALS AND METHODS: A descriptive, observational and cross-sectional study was carried out, including 25 diabetic patients, aged 18 to 60 years. A complete periodontal analysis was also carried out, a survey based on a state of health, gender, activity, glucose control and frequency of visits to the dentist per year and underwritten writing. RESULTS: Twenty-five diabetic patients were evaluated, where 9 patients belonged to the female gender (36%) and 16 to the male gender (64%), 19 patients referred to being controlled (76%), compared to 6 patients who could not carry a glycemic control (19%).
