Resumen
Objective: to determine the prevalence of periodontitis in patients with type 2
diabetes and its association with metabolic control in patients who received medical
care in two foundations in the city of Cuenca - Ecuador during the period of JanuaryApril 2015. Methodology: cross-sectional, descriptive analytical study carried out
with 95 patients with type 2 diabetes who were evaluated periodontally and in whom
the level of metabolic control of diabetes was identified by means of the glycosylated
hemoglobin test; in addition, we inquired about sex, age, duration of diabetes, time
elapsed since their last medical check-up. Results: 86.32% of patients with
periodontitis were identified, the majority of patients with type 2 diabetes had poor
metabolic control (87.36%). A statistically significant association was found between
the presence of periodontitis and the degree of metabolic control of diabetes
(p=0.003), patients with poorly controlled diabetes (HbA1c ≥ 7.0%) presented a
higher risk of presenting periodontitis (OR: 6.67; 95% CI: 1.72-26.08); likewise, a
statistically significant association was found between the presence of periodontitis
and the duration of diabetes (p=0.013), with a higher risk for patients who have had
type 2 diabetes for 10 years or more (OR: 6.064; 95% CI: 1.26-29.08). Conclusion:
the prevalence of periodontitis in patients with type 2 diabetes was 86.32%;
associations were identified both with poor metabolic control of diabetes (HbA1c ≥
7.0%) and with type 2 diabetes duration greater than 10 years
