简要总结
As Chhattisgarh is relatively undeveloped and the population has a high prevalence of poor oral hygiene practices, smoking, alcohol consumption and diabetes, the risk of periodontitis may be increased. There is a need for a related study on the population of Chhattisgarh as there is less awareness among the people about the interrelationship between diabetes and periodontitis. Hence, the present study aimed to assess the levels of awareness about the relationship between diabetes and periodontitis among the general population of Raipur. In addition, the attitude of general physicians in suggesting that diabetic patients visit a dentist will also be assessed
