Identification of Individuals With Undiagnosed Diabetes and Pre‐Diabetes in a Danish Cohort Attending Dental Treatment

Abstract

This study confirms that individuals with undiagnosed DM and prediabetes can be identified in the dental office by chairside recordings of HbA1c levels. Routine measurement of HbA1c levels in dental offices, eventually restricted to those at risk, may help identification of individuals with DM and prediabetes at early stages of disease, which may prevent future complications.
