An electronic search for articles was conducted in PubMed, MEDLINE and Google Scholar, Scopus, Cochrane Library databases from January 2001 to August 2023 using keywords mentioned in the terms of diabetes impact on dental caries, enamel, dentin, salivary glands, oral microbiome. A search using the keywords “dental caries” and “type 1 diabetes” was done in articles, systematic reviews and meta-analyses of English- and Ukrainian-language literary sources. The search for articles was focused on clear descriptions of the possible mechanisms of diabetes effect on the hard dental tissues. The analysis included articles with the results of clinical and experimental studies, meta-analyses, and systematic reviews written in English and Ukrainian according to the selected keywords; articles that explain the impact of diabetes on the hard dental tissues; articles that provide strong evidence of oral disease associated with type 1 diabetes. The article presents the results of the literary review of sources — clinical and experimental studies, meta-analyses and systematic analyzes regarding the impact of type 1 diabetes on the state of the hard dental tissues. The literature presents conflicting data on the prevalence of caries in children with type 1 diabetes compared to healthy children. Most research show that the level of metabolic control of diabetes and the age of children are associated with a high risk of developing caries. Data are presented on the potential risk of diabetes impact on the state of the hard dental tissues and possible mechanisms of developing caries. The authors consider disease-modifying risk factors such as impaired salivation, buffering capacity of saliva, changes in the oral microbiome, which lead to structural and biomechanical changes in the hard dental tissues. Modifiable risk factors such as eating habits, educational measures that directly affect the characteristics of individual hygiene, as well as regular professional control of the oral health, led to a decrease in the prevalence and severity of caries in children with type 1 diabetes. The conducted analysis indicates the need for further research to assess the health status of the oral cavity in children with type 1 diabetes.

“…In addition, oral physicians can collaborate with primary care physicians to identify patients who might be at risk of developing T2DM based on oral findings. Dental investigations, oral prophylaxis, and proper dental care may decrease the incidence of oral diseases [ 15 , 16 ]. The present study combines oral health education with a dental intervention.…”

IntroductionDiabetes mellitus (DM) is a group of metabolic diseases characterized by hyperglycemia resulting from defects in insulin secretion, insulin action, or both. The study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of oral health education and intervention in improving oral health outcomes in type 2 DM (T2DM) patients. MethodsThe present study was conducted in the Department of Oral Medicine and Radiology between February 2023 and August 2023 at Saveetha Dental College and Hospitals in Chennai, India. All of the patients in the study had T2DM with oral manifestations. This study enrolled 105 participants, of whom 63 were female and 42 were male. A standard pro forma was given to all the participants, and the findings were recorded. The pro forma comprises different oral manifestations, blood glucose levels, the Decayed, Missing, and Filled Teeth (DMFT) index, and Russell's periodontal index. The results were then statistically analyzed. ResultsThis study of 105 individuals with T2DM (60% females and 40% males) revealed significant oral health challenges: 33% had periodontitis, 20% had gingivitis, 5% had lichenoid reactions, 23% had xerostomia, 11% had halitosis, and 8% had candidiasis, illustrating diabetes' impact on dental health. Following appropriate, tailor-made treatment for individual patients, such as scaling, root planning, oral hygiene education, pharmacotherapy, and post-intervention, the prevalence of complications notably decreased by 61%. A total of 7% of patients had gingivitis, 11% had periodontitis, 12% had xerostomia, 4% had halitosis, 2% had candidiasis, and 1% had lichenoid reactions, respectively. This highlights the importance of regular oral care positively impacting diabetes patients, with 61% experiencing improved oral health and 39% experiencing no improvement. ConclusionThis study provides compelling evidence for the effectiveness of oral health education and interventions in improving oral health outcomes in T2DM patients. This approach offers a promising strategy for managing the oral health complications associated with diabetes and improving this population's overall health and well-being.

BackgroundTraditional Chinese medicine (TCM) is a medical system with a long history and unique theories and techniques, playing a crucial role in maintaining and promoting human health. Disseminating TCM cultural knowledge is essential for enhancing the TCM health literacy and health status of people. This study aimed to investigate how TCM health literacy mediated the relationship between the TCM cultural ambiance and people's health status.MethodsA multi-stage random sampling method was employed to select 22,125 permanent residents in Jiangsu Province for a survey aimed at examining the popularization of TCM culture. The survey categorized the intensity of TCM cultural ambiance into four grades (0–3) based on the promotion activities in various settings, including street/community, medical service institutions, and educational/work institutions. Furthermore, the survey evaluated TCM health literacy, overall health status, and prevalence of chronic diseases using the 2017 Chinese Citizens TCM Health Literacy Survey Questionnaire. The regression analysis was used to examine the correlation between the TCM cultural ambiance and TCM health literacy and health status. Also, a mediation model was applied to explore the mediating effect of TCM health literacy on the TCM cultural ambiance and the public's self-assessment of health and reporting of chronic diseases.ResultsThe rate of popularization of TCM culture was 79.3% in Jiangsu Province, with a TCM health literacy level of 14.76%. The average score for public self-assessment of health was 37.80 ± 9.70, and the prevalence of chronic diseases was reported at 32.66%. A positive correlation was observed between cultural promotion ambiance and TCM health literacy. The impact of the cultural promotion ambiance on health literacy also increased with the increase in promotion grade (P < 0.001). The correlation analysis showed no statistically significant correlation of promotion grade 1 [β = 0.21, 95% confidence interval (CI): −0.26 to 0.67] with the health status of residents, whereas promotion grades 2 (β = 1.47, 95% CI: 1.12–1.83) and 3 (β = 4.61, 95% CI: 4.19–5.04) were positively correlated with self-health evaluation. TCM health literacy was positively correlated with self-health evaluation (β = 2.10, 95% CI: 1.72–2.48) and negatively correlated with the risk of chronic diseases (odds ratio = 0.53, 95% CI: 0.48–0.58). The analysis of the mediating effect revealed that the TCM cultural ambiance directly impacted self-health evaluation and the prevalence of chronic diseases, with coefficients of 1.131 and −0.027 (P < 0.001), respectively. TCM health literacy had a significant mediating effect on the relationship between the cultural promotion ambiance and self-health evaluation, as well as with the prevalence of chronic diseases (P < 0.001). The mediating effect accounted for 17.8% and 42.2% of the total effect, respectively.ConclusionsTCM health literacy served as a mediating factor in the positive relationship between the TCM cultural ambiance and health status. Theoretically, it can improve the overall health of residents by intensifying the dissemination of TCM culture and enhancing their health literacy.
