Associations between diabetes and periodontal disease among Indigenous Australian adults [ 2013 - ]

Research Grant

Researchers: Prof Lisa Jamieson (Principal investigator)

Brief description The relationship between diabetes and periodontal disease, both of which are high among Indigenous Australians, is established. This study seeks to explore the prevalence of periodontal disease among this population with diabetes, and to determine if implementation of a periodontal intervention leads to improved glycaemic control. There may be benefit in applying this model to other areas of Indigenous health research.
