| Sumario: | The aim of this study was to study of apical periodontitis (AP) in patients with and without diabetes mellitus. In a retrospective cohort study, the record of 25 subjects with diabetes and 25 control subjects were examined. All participants underwent a full-mouth radiographic survey incorporating 14 digital periapical radiographs. The periapical region of all teeth, excluding third molars was assessed using the periapical index score. Apical periodontitis in at least one tooth was found in 96% of diabetic patients and in 68% of control subjects. Amongst diabetic patients 14.2 % of the teeth had AP, whereas in the control subjects 8.8 % of teeth were affected. |
