Type: article

Abstract: Background: Self-perceived oral health reflects the individual's point of view. Both subjective (e.g. pain, aesthetic aspects) and objective criteria (e.g. oral diseases, functional limitations) are included in the assessment. Oral diseases interact with noncommunicable diseases such as diabetes mellitus. Method: = 22,613). Results: < 0.001). This applies to both women and men. Discussion: Based on a population-representative sample, it was shown for the first time for Germany that there is an association between diabetes and oral health in adulthood. These results support international research findings. Greater interdisciplinary cooperation between physician groups who treat people with diabetes and dentists is required.
