ClinConnect Summary
This clinical trial is studying a tool called the Diabetes Risk Assessment in Dentistry Score (DDS) to see if it can help identify people with prediabetes and undiagnosed type 2 diabetes during dental visits in India. Researchers want to find out if the DDS score, which is based on various health questions and factors, can accurately predict blood sugar levels and gum health in patients. This type of study has been done in Germany, but this is the first time it will be tested in an Indian population, making it an important step for improving diabetes screening in dental settings.
To be eligible for this study, participants need to be adults aged 40 years or older. However, those who already have a diagnosis of diabetes or are pregnant will not be able to join. If you participate, you can expect to answer some questions and provide information about your health, which will help researchers understand how well the DDS tool works. This trial is not yet recruiting participants, but it aims to enhance diabetes detection and care through dental practices in India.
