Diabetes mellitus has a significant impact on oral health, leading to an increased prevalence of oral and gum infections among affected individuals. This systematic review explores the critical roles of nursing and pharmacy in the prevention and management of these infections in diabetic patients. It highlights the bidirectional relationship between diabetes and periodontal disease, emphasizing the need for effective glycemic control to mitigate oral health complications. The review discusses the importance of interdisciplinary collaboration among healthcare providers, including nurses and pharmacists, in delivering comprehensive patient education and tailored interventions. We examine the potential of emerging technologies for oral health monitoring, like tele-dentistry and mobile health applications, to improve real-time monitoring and early detection of oral infections. We advocate for the integration of oral health assessments into diabetes management guidelines to ensure a comprehensive approach to patient care. The review identifies existing research gaps and suggests future studies to develop targeted therapies and preventive strategies that address the unique needs of diabetic patients. By fostering a collaborative healthcare environment and prioritizing oral health, we can improve both oral and systemic health outcomes for individuals living with diabetes.
