Abstract
<p>Objective Tooth loss is an irreversible condition that reflects the end-stage of oral diseases, including periodontitis. Although periodontitis is a major factor in the progression of diabetes mellitus (DM) and cardiovascular disease (CVD), no previous studies have compared tooth loss in CVD patients with and without DM. </p><p>Methods The subjects included CVD patients with (n=94) and without (n=145) DM who attended Tokyo Medical and Dental University Hospital. Blood examinations and periodontal measurements were performed. </p><p>Results The oral and periodontal examinations revealed that the numbers of missing teeth in the DM group were increased in comparison to the non-DM group. There was no significant difference between the groups with regard to the incidence of edentulism, the probing pocket depth, the clinical attachment level or the incidence of bleeding on probing. </p><p>Conclusion We showed that the numbers of missing teeth among CVD patients with DM was significantly higher than that among CVD patients without DM. </p>
