DE0930: Advancements in Diabetes Webinar: Understanding the Bi-directional Relationship Between Periodontal Disease and Diabetes
Periodontal [gum] disease is recognized as the “sixth complication” of diabetes. However, the relationship between periodontal disease and diabetes is bi-directional: the risk of developing periodontal disease is increased three-fold in people with diabetes, while the severity of periodontal disease – and treatment – affects glycemic control in patients with diabetes. This webinar will explore both sides of this complex relationship.
As a result of completing this training, participants will be able to:
1. Describe periodontal [gum] disease
2. Examine the bi-directional relationship between periodontal disease and diabetes
3. Identify the pathways that relate periodontal disease to diabetes
