UNAIR NEWS 淒iabetes Mellitus (DM) has become a whole public issue worldwide.There are more and more cases each year. Based on RSUD Dr. Soetomo last year data, there were three patients, one didn檛 survive, explained internal disease expert Prof. Dr. Agung Pranoto, dr., Sp.PD., K-EMD., at Periodic Scientific Forum (TIB), Tuesday (21/3) at Garuda MukaRoom Faculty of Dental Medicine, 51动漫.
Agung stated that type 1 or 2 diabetes are usually suffered by those with poor oral health such as dental caries, periodontal disease (gingivitisand periodontitis), and finally lose their teeth.
To make matters worse, periodontitis patients risk suffering from diabetes threefold compared to those who don檛 have periodontitis. Yet, high level of periodontitis isn檛 the sole cause of diabetes, a diabetes patient with poor oral health is also fatal. Poor oral health of a diabetes patient will double the risk of bad glycemic which will cause diabetes complication.
Agung also pointed out that diabetes and periodontitis showed some similar disorder characteristics. Diabetes might arise from profusely consuming end products of protracted glycemic, chemical compound resulted from food cooked in high temperature, and also metabolism natural process.
Some factors affect the high-risk of suffering from periodontal disease, such as blood sugar glycemic reaction which contributes to the occurence of atherosclerosis, and stress escalation which hinder tissue remedial. Diabetes also reduce numbers of collagen in periodontal tissues, be it by reducing collagen synthesis or escalating their degradation.
淪tudies show that a healthy patient with serious periodontitis risks suffering from diabetes. Besides, periodontitis has significant side effect on diabetes result. For example, serious periodontitis in a diabetes patient has proven to escalate risks of severe glycemic control. This causes high prevalence of kidney disease, cardiovascular complication, and morality. This also has to do with type 2 diabetes in patients who were healthy before, he added.
The second speaker, Dr. Iwan Hernawan, drg., Sp.PM(K), explained those who suffered from diabetes type 2 meant their body resisted insulin. The symptoms were systemic inflammation which might cause beta pancreas cell disorder, cell death, and insulin resistance.
The main reason why DM has caused so many victims doesn檛 lie in the high level of blood glucose (hiperglycemic), the main clinical manifestation of the disease, but in vascular complication caused by hiperglycemic.
However, it doesn檛 mean that DM is incurable. 淎 cup of green tea each morning and late afternoon is all you need. It will keep DM away, he emphasized.
