Overview
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.
