Abstract
Research has found a close relationship between the disease progression of diabetes and periodontitis. The aim of this audit is to determine the compliance of general dental practitioners (GDPs) with recommendations from the Delivering Better Oral Health toolkit (2014) for the management of diabetic patients. The final section of this article discusses the factors that affect the prognosis of immediate natural tooth bridges. Providing information on prognosis is an important part of the consent process; this includes patient factors and clinician factors. CPD/Clinical Relevance: There is evidence of a bi-directional relationship between diabetes and periodontitis.
