Relación de la presencia de lesiones orales en pacientes diabéticos tipo ii y el uso de prótesis dental.

Abstract

The following literature review refers to the relationship between the presence of oral lesions in type II diabetic patients and the use of dental prostheses, with a focus on how these lesions affect quality of life and compare with non-diabetic patients. Research reveals that diabetic patients who wear dentures face a higher prevalence and severity of oral lesions, such as ulcers and candidiasis, due to factors such as poor glycemic control and xerostomia. These conditions not only aggravate the onset of oral problems, but also have a significant negative impact on your quality of life. Comparative analysis shows that, compared to non-diabetic patients, diabetics have a higher frequency of infections and a greater impact on general health, exacerbating systemic complications and decreasing general well-being. The conclusions highlight the urgent need for specific preventive and corrective strategies for diabetic patients who use dental prostheses, in order to improve their oral health and quality of life. Finally, recommendations include improving glycemic control, rigorous implementation of oral hygiene, and more frequent monitoring for effective management of oral lesions.
