This study selected 30 type 2 diabetic patients who visited dental clinic of D General Hospital in Gwangju and 30 non-diabetic patients as the subjects of research and conducted oral examination and questionnaire from Sept. of 2009 to Feb. of 2010. This study used comparison of the number of dental caries, crown and dentures, community care index and gum index, front and back tongue plaque, sensual assessment, objective assessment (bamboo salt toothpaste), objective assessment (mint toothpaste), saliva, saliva viscosity, and oral environment index, and then compared before and after tooth brushing. The number of permanent tooth which experienced dental caries in ordinary persons was average 3.87 and that in diabetic patients was average 4.30 (p=0.520). In case of front tongue plaque, diabetic patients (2.20) had more tongue plaque than ordinary persons (2.03) (z=0.907, p<0.05). In back tongue plaque, diabetic patients (2.73) had more tongue plaque than ordinary persons (2.20) (z=3.469, p<0.01). Accoridng to sensual method, ordinary persons (2.03) felt severe halitosis compared to diabetic patients (0.60) (z=6.363, p<0.01). But, in objective measurement methods (bamboo salt toothpaste, mint toothpaste), degree of halitosis of diabetic patients (bamboo salt 30.3; min 10.413) was higher than that of ordinary persons (bamboo salt 24.60; mint 5.424) (bamboo salt z=1.650, p<0.01). Good oral hygiene care ability is very important to keep personal health in the diabetic patients and effective oral care is possible through physical dental plaque control education. The diabetic patients can prevent dental caries or periodontal diseases with good oral hygiene care and this study was designed to improve the oral health of the diabetic patients.
