Diabetes mellitus is the second most common non-communicable disease in India. There are various diseases of the oral cavity resulting as a complication of diabetes. This underlying systemic disease could affect the prognosis of any dental treatment. The aim of the study is to evaluate the prevalence of various types of oral lesions associated with diabetes. A total of 343 diabetic patients visiting the dental hospital in Chennai over a period of one year (1 June 2019 to 1 June 2020) were selected for the study. Detailed case history and clinical examination were carried out under visible light. The study population was age 30 years and above. Data collected were analysed using SPSS software and the results were recorded. The majority of the diabetic patients were males, aged 61-75 years. Dental caries was the most common oral disease, followed by pulpitis and periodontitis. The premalignant lesions like Oral Sub Mucous Fibrosis, Lichen Planus and Leukoplakia were also found. It was found that male diabetic patients are more prone to oral diseases compared to females. Hence, it is recommended that awareness on oral hygiene and periodic oral health examination will improve the oral health status of diabetic patients.

“…Lichen planus is an inflammatory mucocutaneous disease of unknown etiology, and its epidemiology varies between 1-3% among populations [13]. The disease is associated with diabetes and smoking [14][15]. A similar condition, called lichenoid reaction, occurs secondarily to an obvious factor, such as drug exposure.…”

Background Aims: Diseases of the oral cavity are heterogenous regarding their etiology, pathogenesis, histogenesis and clinical outcomes. The aim of this study was to examine the frequency of oral diseases encountered in our experience. Methods: The archives of pathology at Jordan University Hospital were retrospectively searched for oral cavity specimens from 2013–2020. Fisher’s exact test was performed to examine the statistical difference between the pathologic diagnosis and clinical variables. One-way ANOVA was used to analyze the differences in the mean of age between the different pathologic groups. Results: A total of four-hundred and forty-two cases were retrieved. There were 232 (52%) females and 210 (48%) males, ranging in age from 3–87 years (mean 43). Inflammatory and reactive diseases were the most common, constituting 147 (33%) of all specimens, followed by 139 (31%) benign neoplasms, 114 (26%) cysts, and 42 (10%) malignant diseases. Lichen planus was the most common inflammatory disease (26/147, 18%) in patients older than 40 (p=0.0039). Keratocysts predominated in children and adolescents more than adults (p=0.0015). Buccal mucosa represented the most frequent site for biopsy (76, 17%), followed by tongue and maxillary bone, respectively at 70 (16%) each. Conclusion: Inflammatory and benign neoplasms were the most common lesions in oral diseases. Oral malignancy appeared in low to intermediate frequency compared to previous reports. The study provides a general overview of the spectrum of oral pathology specimens and points to some novel epidemiologic findings that suggest further investigation.

“…The present study results illustrated that OLP has a negative impact on OHRQoL, the patients having a poor quality of life compared to the healthy subjects (Tables 2 and 3). This is mainly due to burning sensation, pain and, in addition, frustration induced by the difficulties faced by the clinicians in providing a satisfactory treatment because of the unclear etiology, variable symptoms and clinical signs of this affection [33,34]. OHRQoL is also influenced by different diagnostic criteria, the clinical form of OLP, and the heterogeneity of OLP population.…”

Background: oral lichen planus (OLP) is a mucocutaneous disease that affects about 4% of the global population. Hepatitis C virus (HCV) was linked to lichen planus. The current study aimed to assess the impact of OLP associated or not with HCV infection on the oral health-related quality of life (OHRQoL). Methods: The study included patients diagnosed with OLP who filled in the Romanian version of OHIP-14 questionnaire at their first appointment and 6 months later, after the OLP treatment. A control group of OLP-free subjects similar as age and sex was also included in the study. Results: 68 patients with OLP and 46 controls were included in the study. The OHIP scores are significantly higher on OLP group than controls (p-value < 0.0001) and significantly reduced at 6-month follow-up (p-values: < 0.0001 pre- vs. post-treatment in OLP group). Patients with and without HCV associated with OLP demonstrated a similar oral quality of life (p-values > 0.05). Conclusions: the OHRQoL for patients suffering from OLP is compromised but is improved after treatment. The HCV associated with OLP did not influence the overall OHRQoL, but the patients who associate HCV reported more frequently aching in the mouth and discomfort eating food at six-month follow-up.
