Current epidemiological data suggest that the prevalence of diabetes in Canada is increasing. Patients with poor glycemic control are more prone to oral manifestations of diabetes, including periodontal disease, salivary gland dysfunction, halitosis, burning mouth sensation, delayed wound healing and increased susceptibility to infections. Diabetic patients are also at risk of experiencing an intraoperative diabetic emergency in the dental office. Therefore, dentists must appreciate and implement important dental management considerations while providing care to diabetic patients. In this article, we discuss the diagnosis, oral findings, dental care and emergency management of diabetic patients.
目前的流行病学数据表明，加拿大糖尿病的患病率正在上升。血糖控制不佳的患者更容易出现糖尿病的口腔表现，包括牙周病、唾液腺功能障碍、口臭、口腔烧灼感、伤口愈合延迟以及感染易感性增加。糖尿病患者在牙科诊所接受治疗时也有发生术中糖尿病急症的风险。因此，牙医在为糖尿病患者提供护理时，必须认识并落实重要的牙科管理注意事项。在本文中，我们将讨论糖尿病患者的诊断、口腔表现、牙科护理及急症处理。
