Exploring Adherence and Knowledge Among Diabetic Individuals in Periodontal Care
- Conditions
- Periodontitis
- Interventions
- Diagnostic Test: dental expertise
- Registration Number
- NCT06302855
- Lead Sponsor
- Karim Gariani
- Brief Summary
Objective(s) The primary objective is to evaluate the adherence of diabetic patients to periodontal care, accomplished either through oral communication (group A, control) or through a photograph of their smile, and focusing on their gum health evaluated by a periodontist (group B, test).
Secondary objectives include assessing the prevalence of periodontal disease (PD) in this diabetic sample population and evaluating the presence of specific biomarkers related to it.
The final objective is to assess the agreement between the diagnosis of periodontitis based on the photographs and the diagnosis given after the dental visit, based on the clinical examination. The aim is to determine if the photos could potentially serve as a reliable indicator for periodontal risk assessment.

Group Intervention Description dental visit invited dental expertise Patients will only be invited or asked to schedule a complimentary periodontal check-up visit without any previous assessment. dental visit recommended based on dental expertise dental expertise Patients' oral cavities will be photographed. Based on the remote assessment of periodontitis risk conducted by the same periodontist from the Division of Regenerative Dental Medicine and Periodontology at the University Clinic of Dental Medicine, patients will be invited or asked to schedule a complimentary periodontal check-up visit at the CUMD. The appointment will be arranged directly at the diabetologist's office.
