Diabetes mellitus is a disorder characterized by altered glucose tolerance, and impaired lipid and carbohydrate metabolism. Most cases of diabetes are Type II in nature, wherein disease develops either as a result of impaired insulin function or insulin resistance. Persons with diabetes mellitus are at a greater risk of developing periodontal disease. Periodontitis is now considered the sixth complication of diabetes mellitus. This study was undertaken to determine the prevalence and severity of periodontitis among Filipino Type II diabetic patients of the UP-PGH Out Patient Department from November 2008 to February 2009. Out of the sixty-three (N=63) subjects recruited, only sixteen subjects (n=16) were examined. Patients underwent full-mouth periodontal examination including plaque index, bleeding upon probing, probing depth and clinical attachment loss. In cases where clinical attachment loss could not be determined, the amount of bone loss was measured on radiographs. The level of diabetic control was obtained from patient's medical records from the UP-PGH-OPD. Results showed a one hundred percent prevalence (100%) of periodontitis among type II diabetic patients. Following the classification of the Center of Disease Control's Working Group Case Definition for Population-based Studies of Periodontitis, out of the 16 participants, five (31.25%) had mild periodontitis, four (25%) had moderate periodontitis and seven (43.75%) had severe periodontitis. Based on the results of the study, there is a very weak negative relationship between the level of diabetic control and severity of periodontitis. Periodontitis. Diabetes mellitus.
