      Abstract :

      Diabetes mellitus is a metabolic disease caused by the lack of insulin in the human body. This disease caused many and various kind of complication, including in the oral cavity known as toothache like pulpits. This study aimed to know the influence of blood glucose level toward diabetes mellitus’s dental pulp nerve sensitivity. In this study was used the electric pulp tester (EPT) equipment to measure the dental pulp nerve sensitivity on both groups of sample. The statistical analysis shows that blood glucose level is effecting the diabetes mellitus’s dental pulp nerve sensitivity (R2 = 0,327). The result of this study shows increasing of dental pulp nerve sensitivity on Blood Glucose Level 2 hour PP (2hPP) 150 mg/dl and reaches the peak level on BGL 2hPP between 250 – 300 mg/dl, but on BGL 2hPP 350 mg/dl decreasing of dental pulp nerve sensitivity is happened. From this study can be concluded that diabetes mellitus’s dental pulp nerve sensitivity can be influences by the level of blood glucose in diabetes mellitus patient.
