Background, aims: The r (o) over cap le of diabetes mellitus in various forms of periodontal disease was investigated intensively in the past; some studies have also indicated an impact of periodontal inflammation on diabetic balance. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the reciprocal relationship between abnormal serum glucose levels and elevated CPITN scores in non-diabetic patients.Material and Methods: 10,590 subjects were analyzed for normal and abnormal (higher than 120 mg/dl) serum glucose levels, their periodontal status reflected as CPITN was correlated with their glucose level category.Results: The results of the present study reflect a significant association between elevated blood glucose levels (higher than 120 mg/dl) and CPITN scores of 4.5 with an odds ratio of 2.46.Conclusion: A strong association exists between abnormal serum glucose level and periodontal disease as manifested by CPITN score.
