Q

Why is there bone loss

A

there is bacteria on the teeth
the white blood cells want to get away from this bacteria but they can’t
so the way it responds is to move away by resorbing bone and with bone loss comes soft tissue loss

Q

How can diabetes modify periodontal disease

A

diabetes increases inflammation in the periodontal tissues

hyperglycemia can also result in the activation of pathways that increase inflammation
