| description | Background: The aim of this study was to compare the oral
health status of children with type 1 diabetes and healthy
controls.
Methods: This comparative study involved 64 children,
32 children with type 1 diabetes and 32 age- and gendermatched
controls. Oral health examination was conducted
using WHO criteria. Dental caries experience was
recorded using DMFT/dmft index and periodontal parameters
were assessed using plaque, gingivitis, gingival
bleeding and calculus indexes. Dental caries and periodontal
parameters between the two groups were compared
using the Mann-Whitney U-test.
Results: Children with diabetes exhibited significantly
greater plaque deposits (p = 0.01) and a higher mean
plaque index (p < 0.01), when compared to healthy subjects.
No significant difference in DMFT and dmft scores,
mean bleeding index, calculus index and gingival index
was found between the two groups.
Conclusions: Children with type 1 diabetes had a poor oral
health status with greater plaque accumulation than children
without diabetes. |
