Objectives. The significance of the maintenance and promotion of the oral health is accentuated in the case of diabetics. The main goal of our study is to establish the value of the oral health condition as a predictive or assurance index of diabetes in dentistry. Secondly, our studies followed the establishment of the significance that the patients diagnosticated with diabetes show it to the care of their own oral cavity. Material and Method. We have divided a target experimental group made of 240 patients into 2 key subgroups: patients with a declared diabetes versus apparently healthy patients. For the patient?s evaluation we elaborated an evaluation questionnaire of the oral health condition. Result and Discussions. The periodontal disease (37%) has superior and surprisingly percentages in the case of the patients with declared diabetes. It can be considered an assurance index. Oral health condition can be a prediction index of diabetes. In order to study the oral self-care determinants we chose New Century model for the promotion of oral health. The results show that an improvement can also exist as for the oral self-care among diabetic patients. Conclusions. Dentists must be more involved in the case of diabetics and collaborate faster and more actively with their generalist colleagues.
