stimulating colony factor (which initiates proliferation of
osteoclasts)
ii. Reduction in osteoblastic function: it decreases Runx-2
(runt related transcription factor), osteocalcin and
osteopontin expression( which are extracellular matrix
proteins)
iii. Reduce bone microcirculation by reducing
neovascularization and thus bone repair.
iv. Increase in advanced glycated end products which
reduce cross linking of collagen fibers and thus affect
integrity of new bone formed.

1. Xerostomia: Cause is unknown, but nay be due to polyuria
or alterations in basement membrane of salivary gland.
Saliva is thick and ropy. This results in poor retention of
complete dentures.
Treatment:
i. Ask the patient to sip
water throughout the day
ii. Wet the dentures before
placing them in mouth
iii. Chew on sugar free
sialagogues like Orbit White,
Biotene
iv. Take salivary stimulants like:
1. Muscarinic agent – pilocarpine. E.g., salagen
2. Vitamin C chewable tablets e.g.: Trenvit Cee Chewable
Tab, Vitamin C Chewtab, Vitcee Chewable Tab.

3. Cievimline (Evoxac) 30mg, 3 times per day
v. Salivary substitutes or artificial saliva: mimic natural
saliva, but not stimulate salivary gland production. They
include carboxymethylcellulose or hydroxyethylcellulose,
minerals such as calcium and phosphate ions and
fluoride, preservatives such as methyl- or propylparaben,
and flavoring and related agents. E.g. Moi-Stir® Oral
Swabsticks ; Optimoist® spray; Saliva Substitute® liquid;
and Xero-Lube® Artificial Saliva sodium-free spray.
Preparatory stage

5. Now keep
original
b mandibular
a
wax denture
c base aside
and
Construct
new wax denture base of height ‘c’
6. Place 3 Three double-toothed LegoTM
blocks in the wax, One was anteriorly
and two posteriorly, one on each side
7. The Lego blocks are placed exactly
in the centre of the wax base, kept
parallel to each other and waxed
in such a way that only the ‘teeth’
of the Lego blocks were above the wax
8. Now seal the rim to the model and
perform flasking, counter flasking,
dewaxing, packing with CLEAR heat
cure acrylic and acrylization.

Reservoir placement:
8
1. Cut the internal surface of reservoir smoothly with big
diameter (2mm), on each posterior surface, maintaining
sufficient thickness of denture walls for strength.
2. Drill 0.5 mm drainage hole from the inferior aspect of
lingual flange of denture into the reservoirs.
3. Test drainage by filling the reservoirs with water and
denture placed on paper towel.
Cleanliness of dentures:
1. Weekly flush with
1% sodium hypochlorite
solution.
2. Use Orthodontic wire to
clean the drainage holes.
3. Candidiasis:
It has generally been assumed that oral candidiasis occurs
with increased frequency in patients with diabetes mellitus.
Candidiasis is of 2 types:
i. Oropharyngeal
ii. Esophageal
9
People who have diabetes and high
blood sugar levels are more likely
to get thrush in the mouth,
because the extra sugar in saliva
acts like food for candida.
10
I. The patient should maintain effective oral hygiene. E.g.:
rinse mouth after every meals, clean the dentures every
morning.
II. Place the dentures in 0.2% chlorhex solution or
1%hypochlorite solution. E.g.: sanidyl, Chlorhexidine
mouthwash, chlorhex 150, orathex.
III.Antimycotic treatment:
a. Sustained drug delivery by coating lacquer miconazole
on fitting denture surface. E.g.: Daktarin Gel,
Decanazole Gel, Fungitop Gel
b. Topical treatment with Nystatin Suspension, Ointment
or Gel. E.g.: Fongistat, Mystatin- OS, Devnyst Nystatin
– OS
c. Amphotericin B- Lozenge, suspension or gel. E.g.:
fungizone, AmB, Ambisome, Amphotec, Tegopen
d. Ketokonazole lozenge for 2 weeks. E.g. : Fungitop
Lotion, Kalzep Z lotion, Nizral solution, Sarot lotion.
Treatment:
i. Removal of the cause, i.e. ill fitting denture should be
replaced with new properly fitting dentures.
ii.Apply benzocaine gels or orabase 2-3 times per day.
Differential Diagnosis:
a. Squamous Carcinoma
11
b. Ulcerative mucosal diseases such as lichen planus
Treatment :
12
A) Relieve dry mouth. E.g. mouthwash like biotene or
bioxtra, saliva substitutes like Glandosane, Moi-
Stir, Salivart, Oralube, Plax, Oral balance
B) Treat oral candidiasis
C) Relieve anxiety or depression by anticonvulsant
medication- clonazepm (klonopin)- lozenge.
D) Alpha Lipoic Acid: Strong Antioxidant- Biletan,
Heparlipon, Thioctsan, Bolovit-FC
v. Topical application of capsaicin, chemical derived from
black pepper- It acts as a desensitizing agent.
vi. Life style home remedies:
a. Drink more water
b.Suck ice chips
c.No use of alcohol and tobacco products
d.Avoid hot, spicy, acidic foods and liquids
e.Brush dentures with baking soda and water
f. Chew sugarless gum.
g. Eat apple, carrot, celery, hard breads- these increase
salivary stimulation.
13
5. Patient should be treated under antibiotic coverage.

Conclusion:
Diabetes mellitus is a complex disorder affecting people of
all ages. Providing safe and effective oral medical care for
patient with diabetes requires an understanding of the
disease and familiarity with its oral manifestations. Control
of blood glucose level is of utmost importance for successful
Prosthodontic treatment. Before starting any procedure for
dental prosthesis, oral hygiene of the diabetic patients must
be evaluated and should be improved through different
surgical and non-surgical periodontal therapies and
restorative techniques. Good oral and dental hygiene
15
maintenance is a pre requisite for ensuring the long term
successful prosthodontic treatment .
