This study is conducted to evaluate validity of Diabetes Risk Assessment in Dentistry Score (DDS) in Indian population as a screening tool to identify patients with prediabetes and undiagnosed type 2 diabetes in dental setting. The DDS score of the patient will be correlated with the HbA1c levels and periodontal status of the patient. Such a study has been conducted in Germany but none has been validated in Indian population. Hence this study aims to assess the performance of DDS screening tool in Indian population.
