Approximately 26 million people in the United States have diabetes, and pre-diabetes affects about 35% of the adult population. Diabetes is intimately linked with inflammatory periodontal diseases. This course will describe the role of the periodontist in managing patients with diabetes and pre-diabetes. The primary focus is on clinical issues related to the relationship between diabetes and periodontal health, and on actual dental office management of patients having diabetes and periodontal disease.
