Abstract

Diabetic patients are at greater risk for several oral health complications, particularly periodontal disease. Periodontal disease has an impact on diabetes control. Good oral hygiene knowledge and practices are recommended to prevent and manage oral health problems.

Diabetic patients have limited knowledge about the risk of diabetes on their oral health, lack compliance with recommended oral hygiene behavior. Knowledge and oral hygiene practices levels are better among patients with controlled diabetes. It is therefore essential to educate patients about their increased risk for oral complications and motivate them for good oral hygiene practice, facilitate access to dental care, and advise them to have regular dental checkups.

Keywords: Oral hygiene; Diabetes Mellitus; Oral hygiene Knowledge; Attitude; Practices
