Comparative assessment of bone mineral density levels in type 2 diabetic subjects with or without chronic periodontitis: A cross-sectional study.

The difference between the groups was analyzed using one-way ANOVA, followed by Tukey tests for multiple comparisons for normal parameters of PI, GI, PPD, CAL, HbA1c, and Kruskal Wallis test for the non-normal parameter, i.e., BMD, in all the study groups ( Table 2 ). Periodontal parameters, such as PI, GI, PPD, CAL, and HbA1c, were highly significant P = 0.000, suggesting diabetes as a risk factor in chronic periodontitis patients or indicating chronic periodontitis as a risk factor in T2DM patients.
