Abstract 

Background:  Diabetes is considered to be a global problem and its correlation with stress have a negative effect on oral health. 

Aim:  The purpose of the research is to determine how the combination of diabetes and stress affects oral health 

Methods:  Various scientific databases have been used including ‘’Pubmed’’, ‘’ScienceDirect'’ and ‘’Scopus’’. Diabetes, stress, cortisol and oral cavity diseases have been used as key words and the period from 2020 to 2024 has been defined 

Result:   More than 100 articles have been searched for and thirty-nine of those have thoroughly been analyzed. Reference materials indicate that patients, who suffer from diabetes, are mostly affected by Periodontal disease and its consequences, caries and others. Additionally, the course of diseases can be exacerbated by stress as higher levels of released cortisol result in deteriorated immunity. 

Conclusion: Based on perused sources of information the combination of diabetes and stress contributes to insulin resistance and has a detrimental on oral health. In order to prevent oral diseases from exacerbating and ensure relevant treatment, it is pivotal to diagnose and eliminate any contributing factor. 

Keywords: Diabetes, stress, oral health
