It was observed that controlled diabetic patients have mild chronic periodontitis, while the uncontrolled diabetic chronic periodontitis had moderate to  severe. The results showed that there is a direct relationship between the metabolic control of type II Diabetes Mellitus and Chronic Periodontitis.esMedicineMetabolic control analysisPeriodontitisDiabetes mellitusChronic periodontitisInternal medicinePeriodontal diseaseType 2 Diabetes MellitusHemoglobinType 2 diabetesarticle
