Abstract

For decades, oral health has not been considered among the priorities of government and international organization agendas, perhaps because most of the time, poor oral health has affected morbidity and not mortality. Recently, there has been greater awareness from government organizations and even from the population that oral health is part of a person’s general well-being. Also, more comprehensive studies have indicated that oral infections constitute a risk factor that generate or increase harmful health events in individuals. This change started in 2000 with the report of the US Surgeon General that was continued in 2002 in the Oral Health Program of the World Health Organization (Organización Mundial de la Salud, The world oral health report 2003, OMS, Geneva, 2003) that approved the resolution that urges the inclusion of oral health in chronic disease prevention programs. That is why we are interested in including this work in this chapter. We will provide the main concepts of the dentistry field to the entire multidisciplinary team allowing them to include this component in the comprehensive care of the diabetic patient.
