Nephrology Nursing Journal, 10/07/09
Dunning T – Periodontal diseases are infectious processes that occur in the presence of bacteria, which trigger an inflammatory response.

Proactive, preventative dental and diabetes self care, as well as regular dental and diabetes assessment, are important management strategies because periodontal disease contributes to the progression of impaired glucose tolerance to diabetes mellitus and to hyperglycemia in individuals with established diabetes.
