Core Tip

Core Tip: With the rapid increase in the number of patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), the number of cases complicated by periodontitis has also increased. Without timely intervention, periodontitis can lead to tooth loosening and loss, and a decline in oral function, reducing patient quality of life. We retrospectively analyzed the data of 300 patients with T2DM to determine the factors influencing periodontitis. Random forest and logistic regression models were constructed to provide a theoretical basis for predicting periodontitis in patients with T2DM.
