ABSTRACT:

Objective

To describe long-term oral health outcomes and examine associations between sociodemographic factors, clinical characteristics, and markers of diabetes control on tooth loss in participants with type 1 diabetes enrolled in the Diabetes Control and Complications Trial/Epidemiology of Diabetes Interventions and Complications (DCCT/EDIC) study.
