| Managing the Patient with Diabetes Mellitus in the Dental Office April 20, 2007 Diabetes mellitus is a complex and pernicious syndrome, characterized by abnormalities in carbohydrate, lipid and protein metabolism that result either from a profound or an absolute deficiency of insulin, related to autoimmune destruction of of the insulin-producing pancreatic beta cells, or from target-tissue resistance to its cellular metabolic effects, related commonly to obesity (Vernillo, JADA, 2003). Dentists play a major role in providing care to patients with diabetes, and in recognizing the oral complications of diabetes mellitus.
