Diabetes mellitus promotes periodontal destruction in children

Abstract: These findings demonstrate an association between diabetes and an increased risk for periodontal destruction even very early in life, and suggest that programmes to address periodontal needs should be the standard of care for diabetic youth.

“…Indeed, several studies have shown that the prevalence, severity, and progression of periodontal diseases are significantly increased in diabetics, and the pathology is considered an important risk factor for periodontitis (3). The study of Lalla et al (4) showed an association between diabetes and the increased risk for periodontal destruction even very early in life. Flow rate and composition of saliva are crucial for the maintenance of oral cavity health, and both have been found altered in diabetic subjects, although with contradictory findings.…”

“…Children with type 1 or insulin dependent diabetics mellitus, resulting from autoimmune destruction of the insulin producing β cells of the pancreas, had increased attachment loss and bone loss compared with controls despite similar plaque levels [13]. The association seems to be bidirectional in many studies.…”
