Abstract
Background: According to the American Academy of Periodontology (AAP)’s classification of periodontal disease in 2017, diabetes mellitus is one of the grade modifiers of the progressivity of the disease, which is determined by the HbA1c level of a patient. Systemic condition is often considered as a risk factor that aggravates periodontal tissue breakdown. However, the progressivity of periodontal disease can also be found in healthy (nondiabetic) patients.
 Objective: To identify the role of type-2 diabetes mellitus and its effect on the severity of periodontal breakdown in periodontitis stage 4 grade C patients.
 Case Report: This case report describes the condition of female patients, aged 30–40 years, who presented to the periodontology clinic in RSKGM FKG UI, with the chief complaint of severe tooth mobility. The patients reported were healthy and diabetic (type-2 diabetes mellitus) patients diagnosed with periodontitis stage 4 grade C. Initial therapies were carried out, such as, such as scaling, occlusal adjustment and dental splint.
 Results: Clinical outcomes after one week showed no inflammation, no oedematous, no redness on gingiva and less mobility on several teeth. Both groups showed extended and aggressive progress of the disease, however, the systemic conditions also played a critical role in the overall periodontal tissue breakdown.
 Conclusion: Management of systemic disease is crucial in order to prevent periodontal breakdown or complications that could happen in periodontal therapies.
