Abstract

Aim: The aim of the study was to assess the periodontal status and periodontal treatment needs of obese type II diabetic patients attending two teaching hospitals in southern Nigeria. Methods: Selected for this cross-sectional study were 220 participants with Type II diabetes mellitus from two hospitals. A structured questionnaire was used to get necessary data from participants. The periodontal status CPI and periodontal TN were determined using the Community Periodontal Index of Treatment Needs (CPITN). Body mass index (BMI) was recorded. Results: Periodontitis was high among the participants from the two teaching hospitals.  About 50% and 22.7% of the study participants had CPITN codes 2 and 3 respectively. Hence, TN 2 was the treatment need required by a majority (72.7%) of the diabetes mellitus patients. Conclusion: The prevalence of periodontitis was high among the study groups; however, periodontitis was not significantly associated with obesity. The treatment need of the participants was majorly TN 2.
