One of the common major health problems that affect all age group is diabetes mellitus. There are proven evidences regarding the association between periodontitis and diabetes mellitus. The aim of the present study was to assess the knowledge and awareness of the association between diabetes and periodontal disease among the diabetic patients in Madurai. A total of 600 diabetic patients aged between 35–65 years who reported to the Department of Periodontology and Implant dentistry were included in the study. The overall knowledge and awareness score regarding the association was significantly low.
