We examined whether general dentists can contribute to the detection of patients with undiagnosed diabetes and prediabetes by monitoring blood glucose in dental clinics.
A total of 716 patients who visited clinics for dental treatment were enrolled and classified into 3 groups (mild, moderate, and severe) according to Kornman's criteria for periodontitis. The correlations between the casual blood glucose level, presence or absence of the history of diabetes, and/or severity of periodontitis were evaluated.
68 patients (9.5%) had hyperglycemia (blood glucose ≥200 mg/dL). Of these patients, 20 (29.4%) did not have a history of diabetes. Blood glucose tended to be higher with greater periodontitis severity. Of the 3 groups, the severe periodontitis group had the highest proportion of patients with hyperglycemia (p<0.0001).
Patients with dental problems could be screened for diabetes, especially undiagnosed diabetes. General dentists could function as practitioners to screen for diabetes.

通过在牙科诊所监测血糖，我们研究了普通牙医是否可以通过监测血糖来帮助发现未被诊断的糖尿病和糖尿病前期患者。
共纳入 716 名因牙科治疗而就诊的患者，并根据 Kornman 的牙周炎标准将其分为 3 组（轻度、中度和重度）。评估了偶然血糖水平、糖尿病史的存在与否以及/或牙周炎严重程度之间的相关性。
68 名患者（9.5%）存在高血糖（血糖≥200mg/dL）。这些患者中，20 名（29.4%）没有糖尿病史。随着牙周炎严重程度的增加，血糖水平趋于升高。在这 3 组中，重度牙周炎组中血糖升高的患者比例最高（p<0.0001）。
有牙科问题的患者可以进行糖尿病筛查，尤其是未被诊断的糖尿病。普通牙医可以作为筛查糖尿病的从业者。
