Abstract
Objectives: Diabetes is common chronic metabolic disorder which affected
millions of people. Nowadays Afghanistan has the highest incidence of diabetes
worldwide.
Several oral lesion and condition
are associated with diabetes. However, there is a lack of consensus among
researchers regarding the relationship between debates and dental caries,
specially in diabetic type two patients.
According to dehydration of diabetic
type two patients and high risk of xerostomia in these patients, prevalence of
caries should be considered.
Hence the present study was carried
out to assess the dental caries prevalence among type 2 diabetic patients in
Alibad practical Hospital.
Materials and Methods: A hospital cross sectional study was conducted. Fifty-three
diabetic type two patients individuals attending in Endocrine ward of medicine
and included in the study.
The data were gathered through
semi-closed-ended questionnaire and clinical examination. Dental caries was
assessed by using the World Health Organization’s 2013 proform.
Data was analyzed by one-way
analysis of variance.
Result: A total 53 patients with diabetic type 2 were investigated
during this study of which 33 patients were females and 20 of them were males.
All these patients were between age
of 40–80 that between ages of 40–60 were 29 patients and the patients between
60–80 were 24 patients.
All those patients with Hb1c ≤ 8
were 22 patients and all those with Hb1c > 8 were 31 patients.

Final result: In our study we found the
prevalence of caries among diabetic type 2 patients is about 88.6% and the
prevalence of caries among diabetic type 2 patients in females is 88.87% and in
males is 90%.
Prevalence of caries among diabetic type 2
patients in ages between 40–60 is 82.7% and the ages between 60–80 is 95.8%. Prevalence
of caries among diabetic type 2 patients in Hb1c ≤ 8 is 77.27% and in Hb1c >
8 is 96.77%.
