Abstract

This comprehensive review delves into the intricacies of managing care for patients with diabetes mellitus, emphasizing the profound connection between oral health and overall well-being. It accentuates the importance of measures and patient education, advocating for a collaborative approach between dental and medical professionals. Effective management entails maintaining control through regular blood glucose monitoring, personalized treatment plans, and the integration of advanced technology and evidence-based practices. The review underscores the significance of behavioral interventions, encouraging lifestyle modifications, and fostering self-management skills. Specific strategies target systemic factors, preventing caries, addressing xerostomia, and managing oral candidiasis associated with diabetes. Postoperative care is highlighted, recognizing the healing challenges in diabetic patients and emphasizing the patient-focused nature of this approach. In essence, the review champions a holistic, comprehensive care model that not only manages the oral manifestations of diabetes but also contributes to the overall wellness of individuals with this chronic condition.
