AB  - BACKGROUND: Periodontal disease in diabetic patients can compromise a patient's 
      ability to maintain a proper metabolic control and may be associated with 
      diabetic complication. AIMS: This study was designed to evaluate the frequency of 
      periodontal disease in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM) and how this 
      was related with the presence of diabetic retinopathy (DR). MATERIALS AND 
      METHODS: A comparison was made of periodontal parameters (plaque index (PI), 
      community periodontal index of treatment needs (CPITN), periodontal disease 
      severity measured in quartiles of probing depth (PD), and clinical attachment 
      loss (CAL)) in a group of diabetic patients with retinopathy (n = 84) versus a 
      group of diabetic patients without retinopathy (n = 129). In addition, 73 age- 
      and sex-matched individuals were selected to serve as the control group. Analysis 
      was performed to evaluate the relationships between periodontal disease and DR. 
      RESULTS: In terms of PI, no statistically significant differences were observed, 
      so, oral hygiene was similar in both groups. Diabetic patients with retinopathy 
      had greater CPITN (P < 0.001) and more severe periodontal disease (P < 0.001) 
      than no retinopathy. Also, our results indicated a relationship between type 2 DM 
      and periodontal disease. CONCLUSIONS: The patients with diabetes retinopathy 
      appear to show increased periodontal disease susceptibility.
