Oral health care and diabetes – assessing the 45 and up study with oral health data from PBS/MBS and hospital admission data
Summary
A two-way relationship has been proven to exist between diabetes and periodontal disease. Linking epidemiological data from the 45 and up study to dental treatment and appointment data from MBS/PBS and hospital admission records will provide a valuable insight towards the patterns of dental use by diabetic patients and types of treatment received. This project will aid in understanding the use of dental care in Australia and the impact of preventative, or lack of preventative, treatment on diabetic patients.
