Undiagnosed Diabetes in a Dental Setting

Completed · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Prediabetic State, Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus With Oral Complications, Periodontal Pocket, Tooth Loss

In brief

In an ongoing study new dental patients are screened to determine their risk of having undiagnosed pre-diabetes or diabetes based on risk factors readily known by the patient and signs of gum disease. Investigators further seek to assess if a post-identification intervention leads to a greater likelihood of study participants identified as potentially pre-diabetic or diabetic visiting their physician regarding their screening blood test results, and to improved health outcomes.
