Abstract

Objectives: The influence of diabetes mellitus (DM) on the fluid dynamics of periodontium has not been reported in periodontal disease. The objectives of this study were (i) to investigate the alterations in the fluid dynamics of periodontium in diabetic periodontitis patients, and present the association of this phenomenon with the metabolic control of DM; (ii) to reveal any correlation between the fluid dynamics of periodontium and clinical signs of periodontal disease in DM and periodontitis.
