ABSTRACT
DMII is a metabolic disorder characterized by hyperglycemia and insulin resistance, influenced by genetic and environmental factors with acute and chronic complications. At the oral level, the most common affectations are caries, periodontitis, gingival hyperplasia, sialodenosis, hyposalivation, glossitis, delayed healing, candidiasis, halitosis, oral neuropathies, burning sensation in the mouth and dysgeusia. It is possible toper form any dental procedure as long as the patient is controlled with values ≤ 180 mg/dl with previous evaluation of the healing delay and risk of infection. A 15-year-old male patient was presented to the pediatric stomatology clinic of the Children’s Hospital of Mexico Federico Gómez for revision in whom permanent dentition was observed with caries lesions and mismatched amalgams. Oral hygiene measures were established, glucose measurement in each case appointment, drink glucose and rehabilitates without complications. It is important as health personnel to know the disease, risks and complications that may arise, to attend to the patient in a harmonious way, to teach preventive oral hygiene measures and thus improve the quality of life.REFERENCES
