Abstract

Despite growing evidence, gaps persist in population-level and policy-oriented interventions, particularly within primary care and in low- and lower-middle-income country contexts. Future priorities include integrating oral health into diabetes care pathways, strengthening interdisciplinary care models, and expanding preventive strategies in low- and middle-income countries.
