ABSTRACT
People with diabetes may be at increased risk for periodontal disease. This study compared the periodontal health of diabetic and employed adults. While tooth loss and gingival attachment was similar for both groups, diabetics had a greater prevalence and extent of periodontal pockets. Diabetics with poor metabolic control and calculus also had more periodontitis.
