AB  - INTRODUCTION: Dental and periodontal diseases are frequent in diabetics. Few 
      studies were carried out on oral pathologies of the diabetics in Africa. The 
      objective of this study was to assess periodontal conditions in a population of 
      diabetics followed in a hospital environment by comparing them with non 
      diabetics. PATIENTS AND METHOD: In a cross-sectional study realized from January 
      to April 1999, 80 diabetic patients followed in the Service of Endocrinology were 
      compared to 35 non-diabetic patients, chosen among the patients attending in the 
      Service of Internal medicine of the Donka Teaching Hospital in Conakry in the 
      same period. Both groups were compared according to the simplified oral hygiene 
      index (OHIS) and community periodontal index of treatment needs (CPITN). RESULTS: 
      There was no difference between diabetics and nondiabetics according to the OHIS. 
      Diabetics CPITN index was higher compared to non-diabetics (p = 0.019). In 
      diabetics, scores of CPITN increase significantly with duration of diabetes 
      mellitus (p = 0.019). Also correlation was found between OHIS and the duration of 
      diabetes. Glycemic control was significantly correlated with OHIS (p < 0.001) and 
      CIPTN (p < 0.001). CONCLUSION: Diabetic patients have more periodontal treatment 
      need than controls. Better collaboration between diabetologist and 
      odontostomatologist is needed to preserve the oral health of diabetics.
