Abstract：AIM:To investigate the mutual influence of diabetes mellitus and periodontitis.METHODS:66 diabetic patients with intermediate to severe chronic periodontitis were randomly divided into 2 groups,those in one group (n=34)received combined treatment for periodontal therapy and blood sugar control,in other group (n=32) received only diabetic treatment.8 weeks after treatment,periodontal parameters and diabetic parameters were meas-ured.RESULTS:Patients in the 2 groups all showed significant improvement in periodontal parameters and diabetic parameters (P<0.05).Furthermore,the patients in the combined therapy group showed better results in periodontal parameters (P<0.05);but the diabetic parameters improved similarly in both groups (P>0.05).CONCLUSION:Effective diabetic treatment may improve the symptoms of periodontitis in the patients with diabetes mellitus and peri-odontitis,combined treatment for periodontal therapy and blood sugar control is more effective.
