Abstract

Periodontal disease and diabetes are two conditions with an increased prevalence in most populations around the world. Diabetic patients present particular manifestations in the oral cavity, mainly determined by the frequent presence of infectious processes, which may be due to: alteration of oral microbial flora, alteration of neutrophil function and/or microangiopathies. The protocol of this review was developed following the principles of PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyzes) and was structured to cumulate the results of clinical trials based on the effects of non-surgical therapy on periodontal status of patients with type 2 diabetes.
