The correlation between periodontitis and diabetes mellitus has been extensively investigated. However, there is little evidence supporting this association in a Filipino population. This study aimed to determine the association between periodontitis and diabetes among Filipino patients at the Oral Medicine Section of the University of the Philippines College of Dentistry within academic years 2016-2017 and 2017-2018. Methodology. A retrospective case-control study design was used in this research. Dental records of all patients examined for periodontal diagnosis in the university within two academic years were reviewed. The prevalence of diabetes among periodontitis patients (cases) and among patients without periodontitis (controls) were compared. Odds ratio analysis was done to determine the association between periodontitis and diabetes. A logistic regression model was used to adjust for age, sex, educational attainment, and smoking status. Results. A total of 715 cases and 834 controls were analyzed. Most cases were 41-50 years old (26.43%), while most controls were aged 21-30 (51.56%). Females outnumbered males in both groups (p= 0.188). Majority of the patients from both groups reached college level. More smokers were observed among cases compared to controls (p= 0.001). The overall prevalence of diabetes mellitus for all patients was 3.10%. Diabetes prevalence among cases (5.73%) was significantly higher compared to controls (0.84%) (p< 0.001). The initial odds ratio computed was 7.19. However, after a logistic regression analysis, the x adjusted OR was 3.05. Only 161 periodontitis cases had sufficient data for assigning a disease severity. None of the patients with mild and moderate periodontitis had diabetes, while 9.87% of severe periodontitis patients had diabetes. However, there was not enough data to correlate periodontitis severity with the presence of diabetes. Conclusions. In this study, periodontitis was associated with diabetes in this representative sample of the Filipino population. Diabetic patients were approximately three times more likely to develop periodontitis than nondiabetic individuals. Diabetes milletus. Periodontitis. Garcia, Ma.
