Caries frequency in children with controlled diabetes.

L Matsson, G Koch

    Scandinavian Journal of Dental Research
    |November 1, 1975
    PubMed
    Summary

    Diabetic children adhering to dietary restrictions showed significantly lower dental caries frequency compared to non-diabetic peers. This suggests diet management positively impacts oral health in children with diabetes.

    Area of Science:

    • Pediatric Dentistry
    • Endocrinology
    • Public Health

    Background:

    • Diabetes mellitus in children often necessitates strict dietary management.
    • The impact of these dietary restrictions on oral health, specifically caries development, requires further investigation.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To assess and compare the frequency of dental caries in insulin-dependent diabetic children with their non-diabetic counterparts.
    • To investigate the influence of dietary restrictions on caries prevalence in pediatric diabetes.

    Main Methods:

    • A cohort of 33 insulin-dependent diabetic children diagnosed before permanent tooth eruption was studied.
    • Dental records from a school dental service were used to determine caries frequency (DFS) and erupted teeth count.
    • Age- and sex-matched non-diabetic classmates served as controls.

    Main Results:

    • Diabetic children exhibited a lower mean DFS (13.4) compared to controls (20.5).
    • The most significant difference was observed in 12- to 14-year-olds, particularly in premolars (2.6 DFS vs. 5.9 DFS).
    • Proximal caries were less prevalent in diabetic children across all age groups.

    Conclusions:

    • Dietary restriction in diabetic children favorably impacts oral health by reducing caries frequency.
    • The findings highlight the protective role of diet management against dental caries in pediatric diabetes.
    • Further research may explore specific dietary components and their effects on oral health outcomes.
