Periodontal conditions in type 2 diabetic subjects with and without oral Candida albicans (C. albicans) colonisation with respect to gender. Data are mean ± 2 standard deviations. * p < 0.00001 # p < 0.01 • p < 0.001. §p < 0.0001. PI: Plaque index (%). BOP: Bleeding on probing (%). PD: Probing pocket depth (%). Differences between PI, BOP, PD (4 to 6 mm and ≥ 6 mm) between type 2 diabetic males (n = 17) and females (n = 12) with Candida albicans (C. albicans) colonisation were tested using multiple logistic regression. Data are mean ± 2 standard deviations.
