Diabetes mellitus type 2 is the most commonly diagnosed metabolic disorder, and its prevalence is expected to increase so much, that by 2030 approximately 10% of the population will have diabetes (especially type 2). The aim of this study: is to assess the treatment methods used for oral odontogenic infections in patients with type 2 diabetes, as well as postoperative complications depending on the applied treatment method. Materials and methods: a group of 112 patients with marginal inflammatory pathology was selected and evaluated. The followed parameters were: age, gender, inflammatory lesions, treatment type, one week, three and six months postoperative evolution. Data were centralized in electronic format using Microsoft Excel software. Results: The average age of patients was 57.3, and gender distribution was almost equal (51.78% males vs. 48.21% females). The majority of patients (47.32%) underwent a conservative treatment, while almost 68% had a very good postoperative healing at the 7 day postoperative recall. There was also a significant improvement of the values of glycated hemoglobin at both the three and the six months recall, with almost 2/3 of the patients presenting a normal gingival status. Conclusion : Periodontal disease has a negatively impact on diabetes control, and can worsen its complications, but periodical periodontal treatment improves glycemic status, the latter contributing further to better oral status and lower the incidence of complications.

Results of Basic Health Research (Riskesdas) in 2013 showed that the prevalence of diabetes in Indonesia was 2.1%, and the highest prevalence was found among the age group of over 55 years in urban areas. Poor blood glucose control remains an issue among patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and they are predicted to have micronutrients deficiency.This study aimed to describe HbA1c, blood glucose and serum chromium levels among T2DM patients. It was conducted from July 2015 to January 2016 in six public health centers (Puskesmas) in City of Denpasar. It was a cross sectional study with 165 subjects selected randomly from those who met the inclusion and exclusion criteria in each PHC. The data collected were HbA1c, blood sugar and chromium levels. HbA1c was measured by using HPLC method and blood glucose level was determined using GOD-PAP enzymatic colorimetric method, while chromium level in serum was measured by AAS method. Median of HbA1c level was 7.1%, median of fasting blood glucose level was 140 mg/dL, and mean of serum chromium level was 42.3 µg/L with an SD of 16.0 µg/L. Although T2DM patients have been getting medical treatment, they have poor glycemic control and lower chromium level compared to non-diabetic subjects in the same area.
