    Abstract:
    BACKGROUND: The association between diabetic neuropathy with and without diabetic foot and periodontitis remains unaddressed in the literature. The present study was conducted to evaluate the frequency of patients with periodontitis and its severity, and to correlate clinical attachment loss (AL) and periodontal inflamed surface area (PISA) with HbA1c in Type 2 Diabetic Neuropathy (T2DN) patients with and without diabetic foot. METHODS: In this cross-sectional study 310 patients with type 2 diabetic neuropathy (T2DN) were randomly selected, and the study comprised of 120 patients with T2DN with diabetic foot and 155 patients with T2DN without diabetic foot. All patients were assessed for periodontal parameters (bleeding on probing, probing depth, clinical AL, oral hygiene index-simplified), plaque index, and PISA) and systemic parameters (HbA1c, fasting blood glucose, post prandial blood glucose, urinary albumin creatine ratio, erythrocyte sedimentation rate, and high-sensitivity C-reactive protein).Unpaired t-test and Chi-Square test were used to analyze quantitative data and qualitative data, respectively. RESULTS: The frequency of patients with periodontitis in patients with T2DN with and without diabetic foot was 91.7% and 88.4%, respectively. The severity of periodontitis, PISA, and clinical AL were higher in the diabetic foot group. Clinical AL and PISA were significantly related with HbA1c in patients with T2DN with and without diabetic foot. CONCLUSIONS: Percentage of patients with periodontitis and the severity of periodontal destruction were high in type 2 diabetic neuropathy with diabetic foot. A significant correlation of PISA, clinical AL with glycemic status was found in patients with T2DN with and without diabetic foot.
