Abstract

Objective: To investigate the prevalence of apical periodontitis (AP) in diabetic and nondiabetic patients. Methods: Cross-sectional study, in which the radiographic records (panoramic and full-mouth periapical radiographs) of 80 patients, being 40 type II diabetic patients and 40 nondiabetic subjects, had the periapical and endodontic regions of all teeth present evaluated by means of the periapical index score. Data was analyzed through BioEstat 5.3TM software. Results: At least one tooth was found with apical periodontitis in 90% (n=32) of the diabetic patients and in 52% (n=21) of nondiabetic subjects (p=0.0001). Regarding root-filled teeth, 44% (n=51) presented AP amongst the diabetic patients, whereas only 17% (n=17) (p=0.0004) were affected in the control group. Conclusion: According to these results, type 2 Diabetes Mellitus is associated with an increase in the prevalence of apical periodontitis. doi:10.5020/18061230.2014.p163
