Dentаl Hygiene Cаse Study: Interprоfessiоnаl Cоllaboration in the Care of a Patient with Uncontrolled Type II Diabetes Patient Background: Name: Mr. James Taylor Age: 58 Medical History: Diagnosed with Type II Diabetes 8 years ago. Reports inconsistent medication use and infrequent blood glucose monitoring. Most recent HbA1c: 9.2%. Medications: Metformin (taken inconsistently), Lisinopril for hypertension. Lifestyle: Sedentary lifestyle, diet high in carbohydrates and processed foods. Smokes 5–10 cigarettes per day. Reports fatigue and occasional blurred vision. Dental History: Irregular dental visits. Last dental cleaning was over 2 years ago. Complains of bleeding gums and tooth sensitivity. Clinical Findings: Generalized moderate to severe inflammation, bleeding on probing, and periodontal pocketing (5–7 mm in all quadrants). Clinical attachment loss and radiographic evidence of moderate bone loss. Diagnosis: Generalized Stage III, Grade C Periodontitis. Requires nonsurgical periodontal therapy (scaling and root planing) in all four quadrants. Poor oral hygiene, heavy plaque and calculus accumulation. Halitosis and tooth mobility (Grade I) on molars. Interprofessional Collaboration Needs: Due to Mr. Taylor’s uncontrolled diabetes, his periodontal health is compromised. Research shows a bidirectional relationship between periodontal disease and diabetes, with inflammation from periodontal disease contributing to poor glycemic control and vice versa. Collaborative care is essential to optimize outcomes for both his oral and systemic health. Recommended Plan of Care: Dental Hygiene Care Plan: Full-mouth debridement followed by quadrant-based SRP under local anesthesia. Oral hygiene instruction tailored to his condition. Smoking cessation counseling. Chlorhexidine rinse short term and possible adjunctive antibiotic therapy pending physician clearance. Re-evaluation 4–6 weeks post-SRP. Medical Collaboration: Consultation with primary care physician (PCP) to coordinate timing of treatment, discuss glycemic control, and confirm medical clearance for dental procedures. Referral to a registered dietitian for diabetes-focused nutrition counseling. Referral to a diabetes educator to reinforce medication adherence and lifestyle management. Consider endocrinologist referral if glucose remains poorly controlled despite interventions. Communication: Share findings and treatment plan with PCP via written correspondence. Request HbA1c updates and medication recommendations. Establish a feedback loop to monitor progress jointly.
