Scientists have confirmed the association of diabetes with tooth and implant loss

People with type I and type II diabetes lose teeth significantly more often than those who do not have diabetes, and their risk of inflammation and loss of dental implants is also increased. This was reported on June 9 in the journal Medical Xpress.

The dissertation is based on information from seven Swedish registers over a long period of observation. The data of 86,273 patients with type I diabetes and 786,305 with type II diabetes were analyzed. A number of indicators were additionally compared with the Danish data.

With type 1 diabetes, the risk of periodontitis and tooth loss increased in those who had poor blood sugar control. In 10 years, 43.5% of patients with poor glycemic control lost at least one tooth, while with good control this figure was 25.3%, and among people without diabetes — 29%. With a stable normal level of glycemia, there were practically no differences with the control group.

In type 2 diabetes, the risk of periodontitis and tooth loss was increased regardless of sugar control, although it increased even more with poor control: 54.9% lost one tooth or more over 10 years compared to 44% with good control and 37.8% in the control group. 12.6% of patients with poor control lost five teeth or more, compared to 3.7% without diabetes.

Among patients with dental implants, carriers of both types of diabetes were significantly more likely to experience peri—implantitis — inflammation of the tissues around the implant - and loss of structure, especially with poor glycemic control. In addition, the risk of complete tooth loss was particularly high in diabetics with low socioeconomic status.

Evgeny Belousov, a gastroenterologist at JSC "Medicine" (Academician Roitberg Clinic), Candidate of Medical Sciences, told Izvestia on April 14 that the combination of pilaf and salads with mayonnaise is especially dangerous for people with diseases of the gastrointestinal tract, metabolic disorders and cardiovascular problems. People with type II diabetes and lipid metabolism disorders should also be careful. This combination of saturated fats can worsen the course of these conditions.
