Oral health KAP and their association with OHRQoL among type 2 diabetic patients in the West Bank, Palestine: a cross-sectional study
This study highlights that positive attitudes significantly improve OHRQoL in diabetic patients, while poor outcomes relate to socioeconomic and health system barriers. Despite good knowledge, practices remain inadequate. Integrating oral health into diabetes care, improving access, and addressing social determinants are essential for enhancing overall quality of life in this population.
