Abstract

Diabetes Mellitus (DM) is a metabolic disorder disease which should be giving an antidiabetic therapy. Antidiabetic therapy causes several side effects, one of which is in oral health status such as a decrease in salivary flow rate which affects the acid-base balance (pH) in the oral cavity. Acidic saliva changes in oral health conditions. The study aimed to find out the oral health status, salivary flow rate and salivary pH in DM patients who routinely consume antidiabetic medicines. Quantitative descriptive research with a cross sectional approach was used in this study. Thirty patients with Type 2 DM who took antidiabetic medicines participated in this study selected by purposive sampling. Measurement of oral health status, salivary flow rate and salivary pH used the Oral Health Assessment Tool (OHAT); draining method with syringe and timer; and pH test strips. Most of the respondents’ oral health status was unhealthy with a mean ± SD 10.13 ± 1.19, low salivary flow rate with a mean ± SD 0.17 ± 0.04 ml/minute and acidic salivary pH with a mean ± SD 6.25 ± 1.89. Most of the respondents had unhealthy oral health status, low salivary flow rate and acidic salivary pH. It is very important for diabetic patient to maintain the oral health status.
