Periodontal disease Periodontal disease is a common chronic inflammatory disease characterized by destruction of the supporting structures of the teeth and includes gingivitis and periodontitis. On the other hand, diabetes is a metabolic syndrome whose commonness is growing rapidly. It is known to be accompanied by serious complications such as blindness, gangrene, nephropathy, healing disorders, cardiovascular disease, and even death.   Periodontal disease is the sixth most prevalent complication of diabetes, as the risk of periodontitis increases about three times in diabetic patients compared to non-diabetics. Psychosomatic stress: There are two concepts/hypothesis to explain the relationship between “Psyche” and “Soma” Chronic diseases are the feedback of long-term interactions between a host and its environment and are multifactorial in nature.

Dental diseases include dental caries, exploratory defects of enamel, dental erosion and periodontal disease. One of the current leading Dental Problem is Gum disease . ‘’ Gum disease” is an infectious disease by germs present in the gums and mouth. It is one of the most usual infections in people around the world. In its more severe form known as “periodontitis” the infection is long lasting. The soft gums and bone around the teeth disband over time. This can lead to loss of teeth. PERIODONTITIS may lead to RAISES blood sugar and causes type 2 diabetes.

Oral cancer is a chronic disease where cancer cells form in the mouth, lips, cheeks, gums, tongue, hard palate, tonsils and the throat. Every day in each hour a person dies due to oral cancer. Oral cancer has been associated with the chronic and uncontrolled use of tobacco and alcohol . More recently it has been shown that Human Papilloma Virus (HPV) infection is also associated with oral cancer. What is the risk factor for developing oral cancer? 1     Tobacco and alcohol use : Most cases of oral cancer are linked to cigarette smoking, heavy alcohol use, or the use of both tobacco and alcohol together.
