尽管糖尿病专家一再建议,但仍有80%的糖尿病患者未能获得充分的口腔随访。此外,了解患者的牙周状况对糖尿病管理至关重要,但当前糖尿病专家往往缺乏这一信息,并观察到患者普遍缺乏拜访牙科医生的积极性。
在此背景下,Periodetect设备应运而生,旨在帮助识别牙周炎的临床体征。该工具通过简化检测流程,有望改善糖尿病患者的牙周健康监测,为糖尿病综合管理提供关键数据支持。

Diabetic Patients Face Critical Gap in Dental Care, New Device Aims to Bridge It
Despite clear recommendations from diabetes specialists, 80% of diabetic patients in France have insufficient dental follow-up. This gap in care is significant because a patient's periodontal (gum) health status is crucial information for their diabetologist, directly impacting overall diabetes management.
Currently, diabetologists lack access to this key periodontal data and consistently observe a lack of patient engagement with necessary dental visits. This disconnect creates a major blind spot in comprehensive diabetic care.
To address this, the device Periodetect has been developed. It is designed to facilitate the identification of clinical signs of periodontitis, a serious gum infection that is both a common complication of diabetes and a factor that can worsen blood sugar control. The tool aims to provide a clearer link between dental and diabetes care, helping specialists obtain vital information and encouraging better patient adherence to dental health protocols.
Malgré les recommandations des diabétologues, 80% des patients diabétiques ont un suivi dentaire insuffisant. De plus, la connaissance de l’état parodontal des patients est une information importante pour le diabétologue. Aujourd’hui le diabétologue ne dispose pas de cette information et constate un manque d’engagement du patient à visiter le dentiste. Periodetect est un dispositif qui facilite l’identification des signes cliniques de la parodontite.
