Diabetes Mellitus • A constellation of abnormalities caused by lack of insulin and characterized by: • Polyuria • Polydipsia • Polyphagia • Weight loss or weight gain, hyperglycemia, glucosuria, ketosis, acidosis and coma • = Hyperglycemia, with secondary damage to: • Kidneys ESRD • Eyes Blindness • Nerves Peripheral sensory and Autonomic neuropathy • Blood vessels Extremities Amputation
Diabetes Mellitus • Disease complex resulting from lack of insulin • Low output of insulin from pancreas • Unresponsiveness of peripheral tissues to insulin • Metabolic component: • Increased blood glucose from lack of insulin. • Changes in lipid protein metabolism • Vascular component: • Atherosclerosis • Microangiopathy affecting the kidneys and eyes
Epidemiology • 6 – 15 % of the general population have diabetes mellitus. • Almost 20% of adult older than 65 y/o have DM. • Develops in people of all ages but most diabetics are 45 years and older • Sixth most common cause of death • Leading cause of : • Blindness • 25-50 % End Stage Renal Disease • Constant blood glucose level is maintained (65-110 mg/dl) • Blood glucose rises and falls in response to meals
Diabetes Mellitus Classification • Type 1 Diabetes(Absolute insulin deficiency, autoimmune disease) • Insulin-Dependent Diabetes Mellitus (IDDM) 5-10% • Type 2 Diabetes(Relative, progressive insulin deficiency; non-autoimmune etiology) Non-Insulin-Dependent Diabetes Mellitus (NIDDM) 85-90% • Gestational(occurrence only during pregnancy); at increased risk for developing type 2 diabetes later in life (4% of pregnancy ). • Impaired glucose homeostasis (prediabetes);moderate elevation of blood glucose; have high risk of developing diabetes • Secondary Diabetes ( Drugs & other endocrine disorders.
Type 1 (IDDM) • Autoimmune destruction of the insulin-producing beta cells of pancreas. • 5-10% of DM cases < 40 years. • Common occurs in childhood and adolescence, or any age. • Absolute insulin deficiency. • High incidence of severe complications ( DKA ). • Prone to autoimmune diseases. (Grave’s, Addison, Hashimoto’s thyroiditis) • Treated with Insulin
Type II: (NIDDM ) • Non-autoimmune ( Unknown specific cause ) • 85-90% of cases > 40 years • Does not cause ketoacidosis • Treated with Hypoglycaemic agents ± Insulin • Two metabolic defects: • Decreased insulin secretion • Inability of tissues to respond to insulin due to a receptor defect • Risk factors : age, obesity, alcohol, diet, family Hx and lack of physical activity.
Diabetes Mellitus • Results from a deficiency of insulin Due to: • Low output of insulin from the pancreas OR BY • Peripheral tissues being unresponsive to the insulin
Common symptoms: Polydipsia Polyuria Polyphagia Weight loss Loss of strength Other symptoms: Bed wetting Skin infections Marked irritability Headache Drowsiness Malaise Dry mouth Symptoms of Type I Diabetes (IDDM)
Common Symptoms: Same as IDDM but uncommon Genital fungal infections Gain or loss of weight Urination at night Blurred/decreased vision Parasthesias / loss of sensation Impotence Postural hypotension Symptoms of Type II Diabetes (NIDDM)
Oral Manifestations of DM • None are Pathognomonic • Commonly associated conditions: • Xerostomia • Parotid glands enlargement • Burning mouth/tongue • Altered taste • Infections • Candidiasis • Mucormycosis • Periodontal disease • Abnormal eruption pattern • Increased caries risk • Impaired healing
Oral Red Flags(Suggest the need for medical evaluation for possible diabetes) • Multiple or recurrent periodontal abscesses • Extensive periodontal bone loss (especially in a younger individual or with a lack of etiologic factors) • Rapid alveolar bone destruction • Delayed healing
Diagnosing DM • Normal: 70-110 mg/Dl • Symptomatic :1 Reading • Asymptomatic :2 Readings • Diabetes (one of the 3): • Random: ≥ 200 mg/dL • 110-200 mg/dL has Impaired Glucose Tolerance • Fasting glucose ≥126 mg/dL • 110-126 mg/dL has Impaired Fasting Glucose • OGTT ≥ 200 mg/dL • 140-200 mg/dL has Impaired Glucose Tolerance
Glycosylated (glycated) Haemoglubin • 4-6% Normal • <7.5% Good control • 7.6-8.9% Moderate control • >9% Poor control
Blood Glucose Testing : Glucometer Testing • Purchase a glucometer for the dental clinic • Ask your patients to bring their glucometers to your clinic • Obtain a blood glucose reading/s – Is the patient’s diabetes well controlled/not? – Consult with the physician • Consider referral to a physician for further evaluation

Multiple Systemic Complications: • Nephropathy • Retinopathy • Accelerated atherosclerosis • Neuropathy • Skin lesions • Delayed wound healing • Increased susceptibility to infection • Cataract
Acute complications of diabetes • Hypoglycemia! * Most likely problem to be encountered in the dental clinic • Diabetic ketoacidosis • Marked hyperglycemia (>500 mg/dL) • Dehydration • Metabolic ketoacidosis (nausea, vomiting, respiratory difficulties) • Hyperosmolar nonketotic coma
Hypoglycaemia: < 50 mg / dl • Very serious emergency • Signs and symptoms: • Warm sweaty skin • Rapid bounding pulse • Dilated (reacting) pupils • Anxiety, tremor, aggression • Confusion • Tingling sensation around the mouth • Loss of consciousness
Hyperglycaemia: • Less serious than hypoglycemia • Signs and symptoms: • Vomiting • Hyperventilation • Acetone breath • Dehydration • Hypotension • Tachycardia • Dry mouth and skin
Emergency Management: • Hypoglycemia: • Sugar orally • Glucose IV • Glucagon IM • Hyperglycemia: • Transfer to hospital • If in doubt, assume hypoglycemia not hyperglycemia
Terminate all Procedures Mild S & S: 1.Administer oral glucose source 2.Monitor vital signs 3.Consult physician 4.Intake before next visit • Moderate S & S: • Administer oral glucose source • Monitor vital signs • IV D50, 50ml or glucagon 1mg • Consult physician • Severe S & S: • IV D50, 50ml or glucagon 1mg • Prepare to ER • Monitor vital signs • Give O2 • Hypoglycemia
Emergency management :Hyperglycemia • Severe : A prolonged onset • Ketoacidosis may develop with nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain and acetone odor. • Difficult to different hypo- or hyper-. • Hyperglycemia need medication intervention and insulin administration. • While emergency, give glucose first ! • Small amount is unlikely to cause significant harm.
Hyperosmolar Hyperglycemia Non Ketotic Coma(HHNS) • Hyperglycemia • Hypernatremia • Ketones are negative • Dehydration • Coma
Long-Term Complications of Diabetes • After 15-20 years; Responsible for morbidity and mortality • Vascular: Accelerated atherosclerosis with MI, PVD, renal atherosclerosis • Ocular: Retinopathy, Cataract, Glaucoma , Blindness • Kidney: Glomerular, Vascular, Pyelonephritis , ESRD • Neuropathy • Increased sensibility to infectious • Poor wound healing • Disability
Complications of Diabetes Mellitus I. Macrovascular (large vessel) disease (Accelerated Atherosclerosis) • Heart: CHD, congestive heart failure • Cerebrovascular: stroke • Peripheral: gangrene II. Microvascular (small vessel) disease (Thickened capillary basement membrane) • Nephropathy: kidney failure • Retinopathy: blindness • Neuropathy : Pain & Ulcers
Neuropathy (>50% of all diabetics) • Impotence • Bladder dysfunction • Paresthesias • Neuropathic pains (diabetic neuropathy, including burning mouth) Neuromuscular dysfunction • Muscle weakness • Muscle cramps Decreased Resistance to Infection
Medical Management of DM • Diet (both type 1 and 2) • Exercise (both type 1 and 2) • Medications • Oral hypoglycemics (Type 2) • Insulin (type 1 and 2) • Rapid & Short Acting • Intermediate action • Long Acting • Injectable • Inhaled (avail. 2006) • Pancreatic transplant • Pancreas • Pancreas and kidney • Beta cells
Dental Management of the Diabetic Patient • Determine the status of the diabetic patient. • Thorough medical history • Type of diabetes • Medications • ? How they monitor their glucose levels • Results of last medical evaluation
Dental management of the NIDDM patient • All dental procedures can be done. • For dental treatment, no special precautions needed unless symptoms of diabetes are present. • Take normal dosage of oral hypoglycemics for outpatient procedures
Dental management of the IDDM patient • Depends on how well their disease is controlled. • If well controlled, routine treatment should be well tolerated using precautions. • If poorly controlled IDDM patient, do medical consult.
Precautions when treating the IDDM pt. • Brief morning appointments. Decrease stress. • Pt. should take normal insulin dosage and eat normal breakfast. Confirm this with patient. • Consult physician if procedure will affect the patient’s ability to eat. Physician may alter the insulin therapy/diet for patient. • Minimize risk of infection: consider antibiotic coverage after surgery and treatment. in presence of suppuration. • Have a source of sugar available. • Consider adjunctive sedation.
If the patient has an Acute Oral Infection: • Treat aggressively with definitive therapy such as: • Incision &Drainage • Extraction • Pulpectomy • Indicated = Antibiotic therapy, culture, and medical consultation. • Infection, causing alteration of blood glucose control, can necessitate change in insulin therapy and hospitalization.
Indications for Periodic Screening for DM • Those people who have/are: • Showing signs or symptoms of diabetes or its complications • Diabetic relatives • Obese individuals • Over 40 years old • Delivered large babies • Spontaneous abortions or stillbirths
