Article Synopsis
- This study investigates the link between cystic fibrosis-related diabetes (CFRD) and periodontitis, a common gum disease, among adults with cystic fibrosis (CF).
- The pilot study included 32 adults with CF and compared them to 57 historical non-CF controls, focusing on the prevalence of periodontitis using established clinical definitions.
- Results showed no significant association between CFRD and periodontitis among CF participants, but both CF groups had a higher prevalence of periodontitis compared to healthy controls, indicating a potentially increased risk for dental issues regardless of diabetes status.
