Summary

Periodontal diseases, encompassing a range of inflammatory conditions affecting the supporting structures of the teeth, have long been recognized as a prevalent comorbidity in individuals with diabetes. The severity of periodontal disease is usually documented by research clinicians using clinical parameters such as bleeding on probing (BOP), probing pocket depth (PPD), and clinical.

Detailed description

Oral health plays a pivotal role in the overall well-being and quality of life of individuals. Any condition affecting oral health can have far-reaching consequences for an individual's daily life.Both periodontitis and diabetes have been reported to have negative impacts on aspects of daily living and health-related quality of life. Evidence suggests that oral health problems can adversely affect an individual's physical functioning, social standing and wellbeing, and that it can be difficult to dissociate oral health from general health with regards to impacts on quality of life. Oral health-related quality of life (OHRQoL) can be assessed using the Oral Health Impact Profile-14 (OHIP-14) questionnaire
