Abstract

The diabetes, as a risk factor to develop oral disease, has always been very discussed, although it seems that at the moment it is accepted that the prevalence of periodontal disease is higher in patients with non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (NIDDM) than in healthy patients, and higher in poorly controlled insulin-dependent diabetes (PIDD) that in controlled insulin-dependent diabetes (CIDD), so that this negligence can conspire against health in general. In diabetic patients complex biological, psychological and social transformations occur, which is why it is necessary to provide comprehensive medical care to this population group . On the base of such reflections, the pertinent bibliography was revised on some elementary questions in this respect. In diabetic patients, complex biological, psychological and social transformations take place. Based on these reflections, the pertinent bibliography was reviewed. KEY WORDS: diabetes mellitus; oral health; education; risk
