Coronal and Radicular Caries Prevalence and Related Risk Factor in Diabetic Patient

This study aims to investigate the prevalence and risk factors of coronal and radicular caries in middle-aged individuals with Type 2 diabetes. It focuses on how poor blood sugar control, reduced saliva production, increased plaque accumulation, and periodontal disease contribute to a higher risk of dental decay in this population. The study examines the relationship between glycemic control (e.g., HbA1c levels) and the severity of caries, as well as the impact of diabetes-related changes in oral health, such as gum recession and dry mouth, on the development of both coronal and radicular caries. The findings could inform preventive strategies and dental care guidelines tailored for diabetic patients.
