Periodontal Tissues on Diabetic

Abstract

Periodontal disease is a leading cause of tooth loss among adults. It develops when the gum tissue, particularly the tissue and bone surrounding teeth, becomes infected and inflamed. in the early stage of the gum disease ( gingivitis ) then come periodontitis and the last stage is advanced. Studies show that Diabetic people who do not have sufficient blood sugar control seem to develop gum disease more frequently and more severely than non-diabetic people. Because the diabetic have slows circulation, which can render gum tissue susceptible to infection and the High glucose levels in saliva promote the growth of bacteria that cause gum disease.
