The condition of periodontal tissues by subjective and objective criteria (clinical indexes, index score) was evaluated. Results and Discussion. As a result of our research, we found that in patients with type 2 diabetes, the prevalence of inflammatory signs in periodontal tissues was (71.78 ± 3.53) %, which was 1.3 times more than in those examined without concomitant diseases (54.83 ± 5.16) %. In an objective examination, changes in the shape of the gingival margin, the bleeding of the gums, and the presence of over- and oblique tartar were more commonly observed in patients with acute periodontitis on the background of type 2 diabetes.
