This webinar explores the relationship between diabetes and periodontitis and provides practical insights to support risk assessment, individualized treatment planning, and long-term monitoring of patients with diabetes. We will review current evidence on how glycemic control influences periodontal health and how periodontal therapy may contribute to improved metabolic control. The session will also discuss recent evidence regarding implant outcomes in this patient group.

• Describe how glycaemic control influences oral health and treatment outcomes in patients with diabetes.
• Incorporate current evidence into clinical decision-making by applying risk assessment and treatment planning strategies tailored to patients with diabetes.
