These data suggested that the dental visit provides a potential venue for the screening of medical conditions. Subsequently, this study has shown the utility and potential efficacy of screening for medical conditions in a dental setting. In addition, Glick and Greenberg extracted data from the 1999-2000 National Health Survey (NHANES) and found that adult men aged 40 to 85 years who were unaware of their risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD) had not seen a physician within 12 months but had visited a dentist were at increased risk for developing a severe CVD within 10 years and could benefit from early intervention. Of those with periodontitis, 60.4 percent had seen a dentist in the past two years. found 62.9 percent of dental patients without periodontitis and 93.4 percent of those with periodontitis met ADA guidelines for DM screening. Some studies supported the idea of screening for medical conditions including DM in dental settings.
If this current rate continues, the number of people with DM will climb to 440 million and the number with impaired glucose intolerance will rise to 472 million by the year 2030. Globally, 285 million people live with DM and an additional 344 million now have impaired glucose intolerance. Early diagnosis, treatment, and accompanying lifestyle changes in diet and physical activity may help to prevent or delay the long-term complications of DM.
