Diabetes is increasing at a faster rate than other chronic diseases such as heart disease and cancer in Australia. Despite this, little is known about the management of patients with diabetes, undiagnosed diabetes/pre-diabetes or those at risk of diabetes in the oral healthcare setting. The critical issue is early diagnosis to engage patients in appropriate management.
eviDent Foundation is facilitating a project to:
- Understand dentist knowledge, attitude and practices towards treating patient with diabetes
- Explore screening for type 2 diabetes in dental setting using the diabetic risk calculator (AUSDRISK)
- Evaluate the overall economic justification of screening for diabetes and prediabetes using AUSDRISK among high-risk individuals in the dental setting
If you are a practising dentist we invite you to complete a short online survey to help our eviDent supported research team.
