The article comments on 2 papers on the diabetes-periodontitis relationship in 2024. Topics discussed include the studies' overstated findings which impact many health disciplines like periodontology, and the need for cautious interpretation of results to reduce the risks of bias in them. Also noted are the appropriate conclusions of the association's dependence on the periodontitis defintion, and the non-link of adult periodontal therapy to changes in certain diabetes types.
