This journal pre-proof from the Journal of Dentistry presents a cross-sectional study investigating the link between diabetes mellitus (DM) and various aspects of oral health, including decayed, missing, and filled teeth (DMFT), periodontal disease, and apical periodontitis. The research highlights that individuals with DM tend to have poorer oral health outcomes, showing higher DMFT scores and increased risk of both periodontal and apical periodontitis. Importantly, the study identifies age, gender, and lifestyle habits such as alcohol consumption, betel quid chewing, and smoking as significant confounders influencing these associations, emphasizing the need for personalized oral health monitoring in patients with DM.
