Abstract : Tin the current study the oral pathological changes in the diabetic patient have been investigated. One hundred fifty-two diabetic patients (Type 1 = 51, type 2 = 101) and 50 healthy control subjects participated in the study. The latter was a clinical / laboratory investigation model conducted at two levels. The first level was a questionnaire on personal demographic data, medical condition, smoking habits and dental history. Whereas, the second level was on making a comprehensive oral examination and laboratory investigations for two salivary and one blood samples. The first salivary sample was used for determination of the salivary flow rate, buffering capacity and streptococcus mutans and lactobacillus counts. While the second salivary sample was used as oral rinse culture technique to evaluate fungal carriage load. The blood samples were used to assess the HbA1c in the patients group or the blood glucose level in the controls. Identification in the second stage of our work. In the second stage of our project we increased the number of patients according to the work planned at the research proposal, in addition to yeast identification by Candifast system. The result of the study showed that, diabetic patients had a significantly higher prevalence of fissured and burning tongue sensation as well as taste disturbance compared to control. The attachment loss, which represents the periodontal disease were also higher than that of normal group. Finally the results of candidal carriage and microbial counts showed statistically insignificant increase of these microbs among diabetic patients. But, interestingly diabetic patients showed significantly higher lactobacillus count compared to control subjects (p-value<.05). This may be attributed to low buffer capacity in diabetics saliva, which favored the lactobacillus growth. Presence of C. tropicalis and C. parapsilosis in the diabetic patient and not in control, in addition to the presence of higher percentage of Candidal kruzi in type 1 in comparison to type 2 diabetic patient. Although more research is needed to confirm the Candidal carriage and species as a risk factor for diabetes
