title: [Diabetes mellitus and the oral cavity].
abstract: The paper summarizes current knowledge on the diseases of the oral cavity that may be related to diabetes mellitus. It draws the attention to the symptoms that signify potential association between the oral cavity disease and so far undiagnosed diabetes. Attention is paid to a connection between type 2 diabetes and periodontitis, as it is known that diabetes mellitus may contribute to the development of periodontitis, although a reciprocal link also exists and decompensated diabetes may be improved when periodontitis is cured.
