Association between total functional tooth unit score and hemoglobin A1c levels in Japanese community-dwelling individuals: the Nagasaki Islands study
In this community-based cross-sectional study, total FTU was significantly associated with HbA1c levels, independent of other risk factors. This suggests that reconstructed occlusal support areas, including dentures, are associated with glycemic control in the older population.
