Abstract :
Objective: Diabetes Mellitus (DM) is one of the most common endocrine diseases with many systemic complications such as oral manifestations. The present study aimed to compare the oral
manifestations frequency in diabetic patients and healthy subjects.
Materials and Methods: This cross sectional study was
conducted during 2016-17 on subjects came to Yazd Diabetic
Research Center. In this study, 181 type 2 diabetic patients (T2DM)
and 181 healthy individuals, based on convenient sample method,
were included. Two groups were compared for basic information and
oral manifestations including candidiasis, oral lichen planus (OLP),
periodontitis, xerostomia, delayed oral wound healing, geographic
tongue, gingival hyperplasia, fissured tongue, burning mouth and
finally at least one of these lesions.
Results: The frequency of candidiasis, OLP, periodontitis, delay
oral wound healing, geographic tongue, xerostomia and at least one
of lesions in diabetics were significantly higher than control group
(P-value< 0.001). After regression analysis and adjusting for
confounding factors, candidiasis, periodontitis and xerostomia in
diabetics were significantly more prevalent than non-DM patients
with odds ratio of 15.16 (1.80-127.57), 9.58 (4.68-19.63) and 78.639
(10.05-615.231) respectively.
Conclusion: Xerostomia, candidiasis and periodontitis were
significantly more prevalent in T2DM than Non-T2DM persons.
Therefore, increasing awareness on oral manifestations in this group is recommended for timely diagnosis and referring to an oral medicine.
