The purpose of this study was to evaluate periodontal disease (PD) in dogs with chronic renal failure (CRF) and to compare it to PD in dogs with normal renal function (NRF). Twelve dogs with CRF and 24 dogs with NRF, all presenting dental pocket formation, were compared. In all dogs, serum creatinine, blood urea nitrogen, urine specific gravity and total red and white blood cells were determined. A complete oral examination was also performed including evaluation of bacterial plaque, gingivitis, gingival recession, pocket, calculus, dental mobility, dental loss, and ulcers. These data were used to calculate plaque index (PI), gingival index (GI) and periodontal destruction index (PDI). PD was graded as mild, moderate or severe based on the results. Mild, moderate or severe PD was observed in dogs with NRF, whereas dogs with CRF presented either mild or severe PD. Dogs with NRF showed higher involvement of the maxillary teeth, whereas dogs with CRF showed a higher involvement of the mandibular teeth. Plaque index was significantly higher in dogs with NRF. It was concluded that lesion distribution and periodontal disease progression may be altered in dogs with CRF, and gingival inflammatory response differs in dogs with NRF and CRF regarding to the stage of periodontal disease.

Diabetes mellitus and periodontits are both highly prevalent chronic inflammatory diseases. Both diseases share the same risk factors and are a significant global health care burden adversely affecting the quality of life. Evidence from various studies have demonstrated that diabetes is a major risk factor for periodontal disease and is associated with increased incidence, prevalence and severity of periodontal disease. Hyperglycemia associated with diabetes mellitus results in an increased host immunoinflammatory response which adversely affects the periodontal health. Conversely, periodontits is associated with poor metabolic control in patients with diabetes and increased development of diabetic complications suggesting a bidirectional relationship between the two diseases. Periodontal infection via bacteremia exerts a wide systemic effect by contributing to chronic systemic inflammatory burden worsening diabetic state by increasing insulin resistance. Moreover, studies have demonstrated an improvement in glycemic control following periodontal therapy in prediabetic and diabetic patients with periodontitis.

Background: Diabetes mellitus (DM) is one of the top causes of death in many places of the world. Diagnosing DM in the early stage is necessary to avoid severe cases and death. Objectives: To evaluate the knowledge of association between DM and periodontal disease (PD) among Thai physicians and assess their attitudes towards DM screening in dental clinics in Thailand. Methods: Online survey of currently practicing physicians in Thailand was conducted on voluntary basis using the newly developed questionnaire. Result: We received 403 responses that are statistically sufficient to represent the entire population of currently practicing physicians in Thailand. A total of 97.3% of all responses indicate that Thai physicians have knowledge about the association between DM and PD. More than 90% know that DM has an effect on PD; however, 70% know about the effect of untreated PD in DM patients. Most of physicians think that DM screening in dental clinics is important (79.1%) and are ready to accept referred cases for definite DM diagnosis from a dentist (84.1%). The concerned issues among the participants were the accuracy of the test results in DM screening (73%) and ability of a dentist to perform the screening (71.5%). Conclusions: The majority of participating physicians have adequate knowledge about the bidirectional relationship between DM and PD. They have a positive attitude towards DM screening in dental setting. The collaboration between physicians and dental professionals should be established to reduce the number of undiagnosed DM patients and enhance the medical care of DM patients.

Background: Periodontal disease and systemic diseases are inter-related, each influencing one another. Adequateknowledge on periodontal disease among medical doctors will enable them to refer their patients to dentists for timely management. Thisstudy aimed to assess knowledge, awareness and attitudes of medical doctors towards periodontal disease in Dar-es-Salaam, Tanzania.Settings and design: Cross sectional study on medical doctors working at Muhimbili National Hospital in Dar-es-Salaam, Tanzania.Materials and methods: The study involved 151 medical doctors drawn randomly and who are practicing at Muhimbili National Hospitalin Dar-es-Salaam, Tanzania. Data were obtained via a structured questionnaire and included demographic information’s, knowledgeregarding periodontal disease, their awareness and their attitude towards periodontal disease. They were entered into the SPSS statisticalsoftware for analysis. Frequencies and percentages were calculated and association between variables was done using the chi-squaretest. Results: Of the 151 questionnaires administered, 124 were returned (response rate of 82.12%). One hundred and eleven (89.5%)medical doctors believed poor oral hygiene was the main cause of periodontal disease, only 49(39.5%) told their patients to brushproperly, 47(37.9%) believed that there was a bidirectional relationship between periodontal disease and systemic disease and only35(28.2%) referred all patients with systemic diseases to dentists. 34(27.4%) believed that medical doctors have adequate knowledgeregarding periodontal disease and 18(14.5%) believed that the medical curriculum provides enough knowledge regarding periodontaldisease. Conclusions: Medical doctors had inadequate information about periodontal disease and this should be addressed in themedical curriculum so as to enable proper patient management.
