    Abstract:
    OBJECTIVE: Diabetic patients may have vitamin deficiencies, which are important in the follow-up and complications of diabetes for various reasons. It may be beneficial to include the use of dental prosthesis among the parameters that should be investigated as a cause of vitamin deficiency during the management and follow-up of diabetes mellitus. We aimed to investigate the association between serum vitamin B12, folic acid, 25-hydroxyvitamin D, ferritin, iron, magnesium, and HbA1c levels in diabetic patients with and without removable dental prosthesis and in non-diabetic patients with prosthesis. PATIENTS AND METHODS: This study is a single-center case-control study. Participants were classified into the following groups: 1) Diabetic patients (n = 528) with prosthesis, 2) non-diabetic patients with prosthesis (n = 121) and 3) diabetic patients without prosthesis (n = 100). Vitamin B12, 25-hydroxyvitamin D, folic acid, ferritin, iron, magnesium, and HbA1c levels were measured and compared across the groups. RESULTS: A significant difference was observed between the groups with respect to the above parameters. Vitamin B12 levels were determined to be higher in the diabetic group without prosthesis. 25-hydroxyvitamin D levels were found to be significantly higher in the non-diabetic group with a prosthesis than in the other two groups. There was no statistical difference in the iron levels between the groups. Ferritin levels were observed to be significantly higher in the diabetic group with prosthesis compared to the other two groups. Magnesium levels were significantly different between all the three groups. The highest magnesium levels were found in the non-diabetic group with prosthesis. HbA1c levels were found to be higher in the diabetic group with prosthesis. Magnesium levels were correlated with 25-hydroxyvitamin D levels, but a negative correlation was observed between these and HbA1c. CONCLUSIONS: Serum vitamin B12 levels were lower in the diabetic and non-diabetic groups with prosthesis compared to the diabetic group without prosthesis. 25-hydroxyvitamin D levels were lower and ferritin was higher in the diabetic groups with and without prosthesis. Magnesium levels were significantly lower in the diabetic group with a prosthesis than in the other two groups. The mean HbA1c level was higher in the diabetic group with prosthesis. The comparison of diabetic patients receiving metformin revealed a higher pronounced vitamin B12 deficiency in the diabetic group with prosthesis. These findings show that those diabetic patients with prosthesis should be evaluated for vitamin B12, 25-hydroxyvitamin D, and magnesium deficiency.
