Objective:
to know the prevalence of buccal lesions on type 2 diabetes mellitus patients and its association with blood glycemia levels.
Methods:
descriptive cross-sectional study. Casual glycemia was practiced to 162 patients, who regularly attend public health services, and results from fasting blood glucose test were analyzed. A buccal examination and World Health Organization's community periodontal index and treatment needs (CPITN) was practiced. Descriptive statistics and bivaried analysis were used.
Results:
the woman:man relation was 3:1, age range from 17 to 80 years. Out of 99 patients with laboratory glycemia, 76 % was poorly controlled; 99 % showed at least one buccal lesion: 93.2 %, periodontal disease; 73.4 %, xerostomia and 28.4 %, erythematous candidiasis. Having bad controlled glucose, a group with xerostomia and erythematous candidiasis and another showed xerostomia plus erythematous candidiasis plus periodontal disease (OR = 3.5 and a value of p = 0.01).
Conclusions:
presence of oral diseases is exhibited on patients with a poor glucose control. Medical attention results inefficient and insufficient and patients do not get orientation to understand their illness.
