This study showed that private insurance coverage and annual prophylaxis are associated with better average OHRQoL among individuals with T2DM. Improved OHRQoL may be associated with glycaemia control, decreased BMI, and smoking cessation. The highest odds for poor OHRQoL were found among US adults with T2DM with uncontrolled HbA1c, untreated dental caries, and current smoking.
