A Diabetes mellitus (DM) é uma doença metabólica caracterizada pelo aumento da glicose sanguínea (hiperglicemia).
É atualmente um dos maiores problemas de Saúde Pública. A sua incidência e epidemiologia têm vindo a aumentar nas últimas décadas. Em Portugal, estima-se que cerca de um terço da população portuguesa tem diabetes ou encontra-se em situação de risco.
Entre os diversos tipos de diabetes mellitus, os dois principais são o tipo1 e tipo2 e possuem etiopatogenias diferentes. Além das complicações crónicas, como nefropatia, neuropatia e retinopatia, a DM também está relacionada a complicações orais.
A cárie dentária é uma doença com alta prevalência, que atinge a quase totalidade das pessoas, independentemente da raça, género, idade ou condição social, sendo, por isso, considerada pela Organização Mundial de Saúde (OMS) como uma grave questão de Saúde Pública com alta morbilidade mas baixa mortalidade.
É uma doença infecciosa bacteriana pós-eruptiva evidenciada por uma dissolução e destruição centrípeta e progressiva dos tecidos mineralizados dos dentes.
No entanto, não há consenso sobre a relação entre a diabete mellitus e cárie dentária. Alguns estudos descrevem uma associação positiva entre ambas, enquanto outros não relatam essa associação.
Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a metabolic disease characterized by the increase of blood glucose (hyperglycemia). It is currently one of the major public health problems. The impact and epidemiology have been increasing in recent decades. In Portugal, it is estimated that about a third of the population has diabetes or are at risk. Among the various types of diabetes mellitus, the main two are the type1 and type2 and have different etiopathogenesis. In addition to the chronic complications such as nephropathy, neuropathy and retinopathy, DM is also related to oral complications. Dental caries is a highly prevalent disease that affects almost all people, regardless of race, gender, age or social status, and is therefore considered by the World Health Organization (WHO) as a serious public health issue, with high morbidity but low mortality levels. It is a bacterial infection disease post-eruptive evidenced by a dissolution and destruction of progressive centripetal and mineralized tissues of teeth. However, there is no consensus regarding to the relationship between diabetes mellitus and tooth decay. Some studies report a positive association between both, while others report no such association
