Evidences of bilateral relationship between diabetes mellitus (DM) and Periodontal disease (PD) have been increasing and published in oral health practices since 20th century. Nevertheless, awareness of medical staff on relationship between DM and PD and screening PD using self-reported questionnaires has still been limited.
