Implementation of integrated care for type 2 Diabetes mellitus and periodontitis in Germany: study protocol for a practice-based and cluster-randomized trial

Type 2 Diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and periodontitis share common risk factors and influence one another.

Description
Summary:Type 2 Diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and periodontitis share common risk factors and influence one another. However, primary care and oral health care continue to operate separate from each other and fail to synchronize care for patients with T2DM and periodontitis. The purpose of this practice-based trial is to evaluate the implementation of a new integrated care pathway for patients with T2DM and periodontitis. The new approach integrates a screening for T2DM risk in dental care settings in patients with periodontitis, a screening for periodontitis risk in primary care settings in patients with T2DM, and mutual referrals between dentists and primary care physicians.
