The study was cross sectional andthe diabetic patients were selected regardless the periodontal health status and sex but adjusted according type 2diabetic mellitus. Periodontal health examination include plaque index (PLI), gingival index (GI), probing pocketdepth (PPD) and teeth with periodontal abscess were recorded except third molar teeth were excluded.Results: There was no significant difference in mean of plaque index and probing pocket depth but significantdifference in mean gingival index between both groups. There was a significant difference regarding periodontalabscess per tooth between both groups with a frequency distribution showed that the lower anterior teeth weremost affected followed by the upper anterior teeth then the lower posterior teeth.Conclusion: periodontal abscesses affect more uncontrolled type 2 diabetic patient than controlled. So it isimportant to the diabetic patients to control their diabetic status to avoid such a decline in their periodontal health.Key words: periodontal abscess, type 2 diabetic patient, periodontal health status, frequency distribution.
