Periodontal Care and Glycemic Control in Diabetes - Full Text View

Purpose

Diabetes is a prevalent and costly disease among users of VA care. Goals of diabetes care include the prevention and/or delay of complications via adequate glycemic control. Improvements in periodontal status may also improve diabetes control.

Detailed Description:

Background:

Diabetes is a prevalent and costly disease among users of VA care. Goals of diabetes care include the prevention and/or delay of complications via adequate glycemic control. Improvements in periodontal status may also improve diabetes control.

Objectives:

This project will determine the efficacy of a program of periodontal screening and therapy in improving the level of glycemic control in poorly controlled diabetics.

Methods:

Status:

Subject accrual is complete. Data collection is ongoing.
