The Nexus of Excess Sugar Intake, Diabetes Mellitus and Periodontitis - A Review
Abstract: Excessive sugar consumption has emerged as a significant public health concern due to its role in metabolic disorders, particularly diabetes mellitus, and its impact on periodontal health. Excess sugar consumption contributes to obesity, insulin resistance, and chronic hyperglycemia, increasing susceptibility to periodontal inflammation. Conversely, periodontitis exacerbates systemic inflammation, negatively affecting glycemic control and increasing diabetes-related complications. This review explores the intricate relationship between excessive sugar intake, diabetes mellitus, and periodontitis, emphasizing the bidirectional link between diabetes and periodontal disease. It also elaborates on the pathophysiological mechanisms, including impaired immune responses, altered collagen metabolism, and the role of advanced glycation end products (AGEs) in periodontal disease progression among diabetic individuals.
