Thee groups with ( DR ) ( Grade 1: Mild to moderate non - proliferative DR., Grade 2: Moderate to severe non - proliferative DR . and Grade 3: Proliferative DR . ) and Control group with normal fundus examination. All patient were suffering from periodontal diseases . Evaluation of the severity of their periodontal diseases was done using the following clinical and radiographical parameters: Periodontal pocket bleeding index ( PPBI ). Plaque index (PU ). Bleeding I Plaque ratio ( B I P ). Probing pocket depth (PPD ), and Bone level index (BLI ) , The results demonesterated a signiticant increase in ( B I P ) in all diabetics with ( DR ) comparing with Control group ( P<0.0l ) . While ( PPD ) showed a significant increase only in diabetics with Proliferative DR , ( P < 0.01). Lastly registeration of ( BU ) revealed a significant reduction in Ihe mean value in diabetic patient wilh Proliferative DR. ( P < 0.Q1 ) .The results of the study showed that periodic perio dontal examination of diabetic patients may be of diagnostic value in early detection of ( DR ),  ISSN : 0  Journal Name : The New Egyptian journal of medicine  Volume : 14  Issue Number : 2  Publishing Year : 1995 AH 1995 AD  Article Type : Article  Added Date : Monday, December 10, 2007  Researchers Researcher Name (Arabic) Researcher Name (English) Researcher Type Dr Grade Email حكيم السيد Al-Sayed, Hakem Investigator Doctorate   Files File Name Type Description  Relation between Diabetic Retinopathy and Diabetic Periodontitis.pdf pdf   Back To Researches Page
