Abstract :

There are two types of DM: primary and secondary. Primary diabetes includes both type 1 and type 2. Type 1 diabetes can be immune-mediated (A) or idiopathic (B). Diabetes can induce changes in the oral cavity, including periodontitis (pyorrhea) and gingival hyperplasia, both gum-related conditions. Diabetes-related oral conditions include dental caries, oral mucosal diseases, glossodynia, trigeminal neuropathy, and taste impairment. Some people may have xerostomia, whilst others may have fruity (acetone) breath.
