ABSTRACT

The incidence of diabetes mellitus is increasing steadily. The fixed prosthodontics treatment involves the replacement and restoration of teeth by artificial substitutes that are not readily removable from the mouth. Balanced nutrition is essential for the patient with diabetes. The masticatory performance of the dental prosthesis may also affect the nutritional intake of the patient with diabetes.
