Correlation between Diabetes Mellitus and Number of Restored, Carious Lesions and Missing Teeth: A Retrospective Radiographic Evaluation

The prevalence of fixed partial dentures was also higher among diabetic patients. The oral health status of dental patients with diabetes needs urgent attention to prevent these patients from having teeth loss, and it can be done by improving their oral health.
