GARCHITORENA, María Inés; ANDRADE, Ernesto  e  RODRIGUEZ, Adriana. Association between periapical lesions and diabetes mellitus. Odontoestomatología [online]. 2023, vol.25, n.42, e329.  Epub 01-Dez-2023. ISSN 0797-0374.  https://doi.org/10.22592/ode2023n42e329.

Periapical lesions are inflammatory processes that generate the resorption of mineralized tissues. In diabetic patients this process may be affected.

This work aims to identify the association between diabetes mellitus and periapical lesions and to know if diabetic patients have a higher prevalence and severity.

A comprehensive review of the available literature, of a narrative type, was carried out. The PubMed (Medline) and SciELO databases and the Timbó and Google Scholar resources were consulted. The exclusion criteria were: works prior to the year 2010 and case reports. Articles prior to the exclusion date were included, as they were considered relevant to the work.

Despite the fact that the scientific evidence is still insufficient and the design of the studies should be improved, an association between periapical lesions and diabetes mellitus has been demonstrated. This implies that diabetic patients could have a higher prevalence and severity of lesions.

Palavras-chave : Apical periodontitis; periapical lesions; diabetes mellitus.
