Objectives: We explored the association between diabetes mellitus and oral disease in a low-socioeconomic-status urban population.
Methods: Dental records of 150 adults with diabetes and 150 nondiabetic controls from the dental clinic at Columbia University in Northern Manhattan matched by age and gender were studied.
Results: There was a 50% increase in alveolar bone loss in diabetic patients compared with nondiabetic controls.
