medical conditions and the peridontium Flashcards
what effects does diabetes have on the peridontium?
affects the tissues response to plaque due to vascular changes inhibited o2 transport and wbcells.
changes in PMNL function resulting in decreased phagocytosis of cells causing destruction

more prone to infections and to destructive periodontitis
susceptibility to perio due to impaired chemotaxis and phagocytosis of PMNLs
