... hods: This study was conducted at DHQ hospital Gujranwala, during June 2018 to December 2018. The patients selected for this study were those who suffered from diabetes. The sample included only the patients who presented blood glucose levels and HbA1c demonstrating that diabetes was under control. They should also be under continuous oral hypoglycemic drugs treatment, medical supervision and no dose alterations. Results: There is no statistically significant difference between the groups, regarding the evaluation period (p> 0.05). However, when comparing the periods statistically significant differences were observed (p <0.05) for T2 and T3 values for group. For heart rate, there was no statistically significant difference between the groups regarding the evaluation period (p> 0.05). However, regarding the comparison between the periods statistically significant differences were observed (p <0.05) for the T1 and T2 values for group. Conclusion: It is concluded that periodontal disease is the main oral clinical manifestation in diabetic patients. The anxiety level of patients neither varied significantly nor showed any correlation with the investigated hemodynamic parameters and glucose levels, regardless of whether local anesthetics were used.
