| Summary: | there is growing evidence on bilateral relationship between diabetes mellitus (DM) and periodontal disease (PD)that PD affects glycaemic control. However, PD screening among DM-patients at diabetes-clinics is still limited. Self-reported questionnaire (SRQ) was developed to be used as a screen tool by non-oral health-practitioners, thus,SRQ can be used at diabetes-clinics to screen PD among DM-patients. Basic Periodontal Examination (BPE) is performed at dental clinics as a professional screening. |
