How is Pyorrhea linked to Diabetes Type 1?

In: Health, Conditions and Diseases, Diabetes [Edit categories]

Answer:

Pyorrhea, or periodontal disease, is only related to Type 1 Diabetes, and is not directly linked to it being the cause of Type 1 Diabetes or vice versa.

Periodontal disease is only related to Type 1 Diabetes in the sense that a study showed that Type 1 Diabetics showed deeper periodontal pockets and more periodontal attachment loss as opposed to non-diabetics. Those traits are the most common on patients with Pyorrhea, or periodontal disease.

These symptoms of periodontal disease seem to appear among Type 1 Diabetics because some Type 1 Diabetics do not have very great metabolic control, which could lead to higher susceptibility and a greater sign of symptoms in Type 1 Diabetics. Type 1 Diabetics do not have these symptoms, but rather have a greater appearance of what a symptom is close to and thus have a higher susceptibility to Pyorrhea.
