Author(s): Ritu Gupta*Background: Diabetes mellitus is a rising public health concern in India. It has become one of the most prevalent diseases in the world.
Aim: To assess the overall oral health conditions of the type 2 Diabetic individuals and correlate the oral hygiene, dentition, periodontal status and socioeconomic conditions among type 2 diabetes mellitus and non-diabetic individuals of Muradnagar.
Methodology: A cross-sectional comparative study was conducted among 250 Type 2 diabetic (noninsulin dependent) and 250 nondiabetic study subjects of Muradnagar block in the district of Ghaziabad from October 2019 to March 2020. The prediagnosed diabetic study subjects who visited the physician and were under treatment in the Community health centre(CHC) of Muradnagar block in Ghaziabad district whereas the non-diabetic study subjects were assessed from the outpatient department of ITS Dental College.
