Abstract

Periodontitis and diabetes mellitus are both chronic diseases with a rather high prevalence and they are closely associated with each other. On one hand, diabetes mellitus poses as a risk factor for periodontitis. On the other hand, periodontitis has a negative impact on glucose control in diabetic patients. The two-way relationship has aroused a lot of research interest in recent years. Herein, approaching the issue by looking at the effect of periodontitis on diabetes, we summarized the mechanism of the traditional periodontal pocket-blood circulation pathway and reviewed the role of the oral-gut axis in the mechanism, which has been proposed in recent years. In addition, regarding the impact of diabetes on periodontitis, we summarized new findings concerning changes in oral microbiota, abnormal levels of cytokines and adipokines, oxidative stress, unbalanced osteogenic and osteoclastic activities, and the accumulation of advanced glycation end-products. We hope this paper will be helpful for further studies on the mechanism of association between periodontitis and diabetes.
