Background: Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a systemic disease leading to several major complications affecting both the quality and the duration of life. Diabetes is certain to be one of the most challenging health problems in the 21st century. Diabetes is the fourth leading cause of death in most developed countries. The existing prevalence of selfreported type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) in India Karnataka is 24.6%. Periodontitis is responsible for increasing insulin resistance and poor glycemic control, thus worsening the condition of diabetics. Periodontal diseases are prevalent both in developed and developing countries and affect about 20-50% of global population. High prevalence of periodontal disease in adolescents, adults, and older individuals makes it a public health concern. The aim of this study was to assess periodontal disease in diabetic patient and compare with nondiabetic. Methods: A cross sectional study was carried out in dental OPD at CHC Hirebagewadi Belgaum district under purposive sampling. The study duration was 3 months. Qualitative data was collected using Structured Questionnaire to assess the oral hygiene practices. Study tool by using WHO Oral Health Assessment Form for Adults and Periodontal index was used. Patients, within the age group of 30–65 years, diagnosed as T2DM for based on criteria given by the WHO. RBS was measured by chair side digital glucometer. All the participants were subjected for oral examination using diagnostic instruments and WHO oral health assessment with periodontal index was entered. Results: Descriptive analyses were obtained. Continuous group were compared by independent t test and categorical group were compared by chi square test. A prevalence of periodontal disease in diabetic and non-diabetic patients was obtained and comparison was done with chi square. this was categorized as healthy, mild, moderate, and severe. In diabetic group 12.6% were healthy, 44,0% had mild periodontitis,29.3% had moderate,21% had severe periodontitis. In non-diabetic group 76.0 % were healthy ,14.6% had mild,6.00 % moderate and 3.33% in severe periodontitis. When comparison was done between two groups a p-value was significant with 0.0001 which is statistically significant and states that prevalence of periodontal disease in more common in diabetic group CONCLUSION: Our study has made an attempt to determine the association between type 2 DM (NIDDM) and periodontal disease in Bangalore city. It was found that type 2 DM (NIDDM) subjects manifested relatively higher prevalence and severity of periodontal disease as compared with non-diabetics. In conclusion, periodontal disease was more prevalent and severe in type 2 DM patients as compared with non-diabetic subjects Decreased periodontal disease burden can minimize treatment needs and can reduce financial impact on health care systems. High prevalence of periodontal disease also necessitates the establishment of surveillance system for oral diseases in the community
