Abstract

This study aims to determine the prevalence and severity of periodontal disease among diabetic patients in Pakistan. Periodontal disease, a chronic inflammatory condition affecting the supporting structures of the teeth, is significantly manifested in individuals with systemic diseases such as diabetes mellitus. This cross-sectional study was conducted at Jinnah Postgraduate Medical Centre (JPMC) from January 2022 to September 2023, involving 225 diabetic patients selected through a non-probability convenience sampling method. The results indicate a high prevalence of periodontal disease, with 78% of participants affected. The findings underscore the need for improved dental care and awareness regarding the relationship between diabetes and periodontal health.
