Abstract

The present investigation was designed with the aim of studying the microbiota of diabetic patients-both insulin dependent and noninsulin dependent and nondiabetic individuals. Each of the three groups had 15 patients, coming under the age group of 35 to 55 years and all having periodontitis. Even though the microbial flora are almost the same, specific microorganisms may not be predisposing cause for the periodontal disease process in diabetics. The study is clinically significant by means of its implication in the treatment of bacterial infections related to periodontitis and in those patients who are having systemic diseases, like diabetes along with poor periodontal condition and infections.
