The aim: To evaluate the impact of diabetes mellitus on the oral health.
Materials and methods: This is an observational study. In the present research were taken into consideration 300 patients. The study sample consisted of 191 males, respectively (63.7%) of them and 109 females (36.3%) of the participants.
Results: In the current study, we analyzed the oral health of diabetic patients within the age class of 11-80 years. We divided them into seven age groups: 11-20, 21-30, 31-40, 41-50, 51-60, 61-70, and 71-80 years. Based on the results of the current study it was observed that 83.7% of patients were affected by gingivitis. The results of our study show that dental caries prevalence was 68.7 % and the prevalence of missing teeth among patients with diabetes mellitus was 78.7%. According to the ANOVA test, high blood sugar values had a direct impact on the manifestation of gingivitis and there it was a strong correlation between them P-value = .000. Males with diabetes mellitus were more affected by dental caries and this was indicated by the P-value= .02, in comparison to females who recorded a P-value = .03. The relation between gender males and missing teeth was highly significant P-value = .001.
Conclusions: The present study proved that diabetes mellitus is risk factor for oral health. The authors studied this group of patients exposed to high blood glucose levels and found out that oral diseases were high in these patients.
评估糖尿病对口腔健康的影响。
这是一项观察性研究。本研究纳入了 300 名患者。研究样本包括 191 名男性（63.7%）和 109 名女性（36.3%）。
在目前的研究中，我们分析了 11-80 岁糖尿病患者的口腔健康状况。我们将他们分为七个年龄组：11-20 岁、21-30 岁、31-40 岁、41-50 岁、51-60 岁、61-70 岁和 71-80 岁。根据本研究的结果，观察到 83.7%的患者患有牙龈炎。我们的研究结果表明，龋齿患病率为 68.7%，糖尿病患者缺牙率为 78.7%。根据方差分析（ANOVA）检验，高血糖值直接影响牙龈炎的表现，两者之间存在很强的相关性（P 值=.000）。患有糖尿病的男性比女性更容易受到龋齿的影响（P 值=.02），而女性的 P 值为.03。男性和女性与缺牙的关系高度显著（P 值=.001）。
本研究证明糖尿病是口腔健康的危险因素。作者研究了这组暴露于高血糖水平的患者，发现这些患者的口腔疾病发病率很高。
