This methodological article presents an integrated protocol for detecting noncavitated carious lesions and tailoring preventive care in children with diabetic polyneuropathy. The prospective controlled comprised 130 children aged 7-15 years who were examined in Bukhara between 2022 and 2026: 85 children with dental caries in the setting of diabetic polyneuropathy and 45 age-comparable healthy controls. The diagnostic battery combined DMFT/DMFS, OHI-S and ICDAS II with 655-nm laser fluorescence, 2% methylene blue lesion indication, and a structured assessment of salivary flow, pH, viscosity, buffering, calcium-phosphate balance, enzyme activity, oxidative stress markers, cariogenic microorganisms and secretory IgA. The clinical cohort was divided into a conventional subgroup receiving fluoride varnish (n=40) and a multidisciplinary subgroup receiving professional hygiene, lesion-directed indication, dietary and hygiene counselling, and a targeted remineralizing gel protocol (n=45). Follow-up was scheduled at 3, 6 and 12 months. The framework moves clinical decision-making from late cavitation-based diagnosis toward lesion staging, biological risk assessment and individualized non-operative management.
