Data were collected via interviewer\u2010administered questionnaires and the Community Periodontal Index (CPI) using a WHO probe (25\u2009g force).

Type 2 diabetes dominated (73.3%), with 60.8% diagnosed &lt;\u20091 year. Smokers (22.8%) had a 73.9% periodontitis rate versus 53.8% in non\u2010smokers (77.2%). Only 26.7% attended dental check\u2010ups more than once yearly; 73.9% of rare attendees had periodontitis.
