| Popis: | Objectives: To evaluate orthodontists’ awareness and knowledge about management of orthodontic patients with diabetes mellitus (DM) and determine if the treatment approach is according to the international guidelines. Methods: This cross-sectional survey was conducted in Central India from January 2023to December 2023 and included 60 orthodontists from different dental clinics in private practice. Data were collected using a self-administered questionnaire, with questions about the orthodontic management of patients with DM. Data analysis was performed using Statistical Package for Social Sciences statistical software, version 22. Results: Significant variation is seen while evaluating the HB1Ac, maintaining oral hygiene, and consideration for optimal control of periodontitis in DM. Conclusion: Controlled DM is not a contraindication for orthodontic treatment. During orthodontic treatment, special consideration is obligatory concerning periodontal problems and proper oral hygiene to prevent the progression of periodontal breakdown. |
