The study was conducted to investigate the various oral mucosal alterations in Type 2 diabetes mellitus patients and to compare them with control subjects. Material and methods: An observational case–control study was carried out at Dental outpatient department of MGM Medical College & Hospital, Jamshedpur. It involved 74 diabetic mellitus type 2 patients and 74 non- diabetic control subjects. Complete case history was recorded with thorough clinical examination using specially designed case history format. Extraoral and intraoral examinations were performed using a mouth mirror, probe, tweezers and gauze. Result: With respect to specific oral mucosal lesions, Coated tongue and Xerostomia were the most prevalent among the Diabetes mellitus type 2 patients. A highly significant differences found for Coated tongue (p = 0.000) and Xerostomia (p = 0.001) among the cases and controls. Fissured tongue, lingual varicosity, melanin pigmentation and frictional keratosis found to be more in Diabetes mellitus type 2 patients than control subjects but the differences were not significant.
