Abstract
Both periodontitis and diabetes are chronic inflammatory diseases, which are widely prevalent in the world. For more than 50 years, the research on the relationship between periodontitis and type 2 diabetes has been actively carried out. The epidemiological correlation between these diseases has been basically identified, but the impact of periodontal therapy on glycaemic control in patients with type 2 diabetes has been controversial for a long time. Glycaemic control is a key issue in the care of people with diabetes. If the positive effect of periodontal therapy on improving glycemic control in diabetic patients compared with no active treatment can be identified, it will help establish periodontal therapy as an effective auxiliary measure for glycaemic control of diabetes patients, and further confirm the relationship between dental health and systemic diseases. Through reviewing the literature, it has been basically determined that the glycaemic control of diabetes patients can be improved within 6 months after the commencement of non-surgical periodontal therapy. In addition, the guidelines of diabetes and suggestions involved periodontal therapy that are constantly put forward by various countries and health organizations at all levels,while in China with extremely heavy in the burden of diabetes, also should propose the guidelines and suggestions of diabetes in accordance with China's national conditions. Both periodontitis and diabetes are diseases with special emphasis on prevention. To clarify the relationship between periodontitis and diabetes can give enlightenment in preventing the occurrence and development of the two diseases.
