Management of periodontal disease in patients with diabetes- good clinical practice guidelines: A joint statement by Indian Society of Periodontology and Research Society for the Study of Diabetes in India
Ashish Jain, Manoj Chawla, Ashish Kumar, Rajeev Chawla, Vishakha Grover, Sujoy Ghosh, Nymphea Pandit, Purvi ChawlaJournal of Indian Society of Periodontology 2020 24(6):498-524 There is a huge body of literature suggesting an association and a bidirectional relationship between periodontal disease and diabetes. Diabetes and periodontal diseases are both chronic diseases with a high prevalence. Dentists/periodontists, in their daily clinical practice, very often attend to diabetes patients with diverse oral health conditions and cater to their dental treatment needs. Safe and effective periodontal therapy in this populatio...
