The protean manifestations of diabetes include various associated oral disorders such as sialosis, xerostomia, impairment of taste, and localized infections of which oral candidosis is the most commonly observed. The association of specific oral diseases and diabetes is of importance both in the detection of undiagnosed diabetes and in the elucidation of the pathogenesis of various oro-facial diseases. The clinical features and possible causes of oral disorders recognized to be associated with diabetes are reviewed with emphasis on good oral hygiene in the diabetic patient.
