Dental status in a group of adult diabetic patients
The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence of dental caries, DMFT score and treatment needs in a group of diabetic patients (n= 222), mean age 46.9 yr, and to compare them to those recorded in a control group (n= 189), mean age 43.9 yr, using WHO criteria. Relations between the type and duration of diabetes mellitus, diabetic complications (retinopathy and neuropathy), diabetic control, and the subjects’DMFT status were separately studied. The results obtained revealed no difference in the prevalence of caries between the group of diabetics and the control group. Neither was any difference found in the mean numbers of teeth with fillings, but the number of extracted teeth per subject was significantly higher in the group of diabetics (12.3) than in the control group (9.7) (P<0.01). Type I diabetics were found to have a significantly higher number of teeth with fillings (4.05 vs. 2.22) than the non-insulin dependent diabetics (P<0.001). Type II diabetics, however, had a significantly higher number of extracted teeth (14.1 vs. 10.4) (P<0.001). There was no difference in the caries experience regarding duration of diabetes, diabetic control, or diabetic complications.
