Abstract

Diabetes mellitus is a condition that affects both adults and children and is caused by insulin insufficiency, insulin resistance, or both.

Early identification and management of diabetes mellitus with simultaneous periodontal therapy can improve the oral complications. Close coordination between the medical and dental teams can benefit the diabetic individuals.
