Objectives: To determine the frequency of dental caries in patients with type II diabetes mellitus. Study Design: Cross sectional study. Setting: Dental Department of Science of Dental Materials Department and Oral Pathology Department. Period: 6 months from October 2016 to February 2017. Material and Methods: All the diagnosed patients of type II diabetes mellitus either gender were selected for the study. Complete dental clinical examination and duration of diabetes were carried out. Dental caries were categorized as mild moderate and severe. Duration of diabetes was categorized as < years and > 5 years. All the data was recorded in the self-made proforma. Results: In this study total 58 patients were selected with history of type II diabetes mellitus; patient’s mean age was 46.36+5.34 years. Male gender was found in the majority 38(65.5%). Majority of the cases 37(63.8%) were found with low socioeconomic status. 26(44.8%) patients had history of type II diabetes mellitus less than 5 years, 32(55.2%) were with more than 5 years history of diabetes. 15.51% patients were without dental caries, 37.39% patients were with mild, 34.4% had moderate and 12.06% patients were with severe dental caries. No significant difference was found in severity of dental caries when compared with duration of diabetes p-value 0.93. Conclusion: We concluded that there are a big prevalence dental caries among patients with type II diabetes mellitus, while severity of dental caries was insignificantly associated with duration of diabetes.
ABSTRACT… Objectives:To know the accuracy of puffed cheek technique in detecting buccal mucosal tumor keeping histopathology as gold standard. Study Design: Cross sectional study. Setting: Radiology and Imaging Department of Liaquat University of restorative and Health Sciences, cases were referred from dental department. Period: 2014 to 2015. Subjects and Methods: All these patients were underwent subsequently CT scan and histopathology. The CT results were then compared with the histopathological results. Results: Total number of patients comprising my study was 44. Out of these 28 were males and 16 patients were females. Range of the age was from 25 to 55 years with mean of 36.2+4.3 years. The results proved that sensitivity 88.2%, specificity was 100%, positive predictive values PPV was 100% and the negative predictive values NPV 71.4% of CT scan with puffed cheek technique in detecting mucosal tumors while overall accuracy of CT in diagnosing buccal mucosal tumors patients was 90.9%. Conclusion: CT puffed cheek is accurate technique to detect small buccal mucosal tumors.
