Periodontitis is known to be associated with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), and gargling with mouthwash is known to reduce the incidence of periodontitis by inhibiting periodontal pathogens. However, the effects of mouthwash on oral and systemic conditions in patients with T2DM remain unknown. In this study, we investigated the effects of gargling with mouthwash on the number of red complex species, including Porphyromonas gingivalis, Treponema denticola, and Tannerella forsythia, and HbA1c levels in patients with T2DM.

Article Synopsis
- Dental caries (ECC) is a prevalent chronic disease affecting young children, but its prevalence is low in developed countries, highlighting the need for more research on associated risk factors.
- A study of 7,351 18-month-old children in Japan found only 1.2% had experienced dental caries, indicating low overall risk.
- Key factors linked to higher caries risk included being a second or third child, having more erupted teeth, poor dietary habits (like snacking before bed), and a higher Cariostat score, as well as breastfeeding practices.
