The relationship between clinical attachment loss and the duration of insulin‐dependent diabetes mellitus (IDDM) in children and adolescents

Abstract

The periodontal status of 77 diabetic children and adolescents, and 77 paired, systemically-healthy, sex- and age-matched control subjects, was clinical examined. Fasting blood glucose, fructosamine and glycosylated haemoglobin (HbA1) values were determined. The mean periodontal pocket depths, clinical attachment levels and the parameters to assess diabetes mellitus from the diabetic group were significantly higher than those of the controls. We found a positive correlation between the duration of diabetes and clinical attachment loss, but not with periodontal probing depth, plaque index and gingival index in the diabetic group. A positive correlation was also assessed between the present serum fructosamine and gingival index in the diabetic group, but not in controls.

Estimation of gingival crevicular blood glucose level for the screening of diabetes mellitus: A simple yet reliable method

“…The results were consistent with the studies of Beneveniste et al, 17 Ervasti et al, 13 De-Pommereaun et al, 18 Firatli et al, 19 Aren et al 20 and Campus et al 21 who found similar observations. Likewise, on comparison of PPD between the diabetic and nondiabetic groups, a mean depth score obtained for diabetic group was 4.43 AE 0.97 mm and 3.96 AE 0.75 mm for non-diabetic group which was also statistically significant (p < 0.005).…”

Influence of Diabetes Mellitus on the Development and Treatment of Malocclusions – A Case Report with Literature Review

“…In einigen Studien wurde eine Korrelation zwischen Diabetesdauer und parodontaler Destruktion gefunden [17,18,26], wohingegen in anderen Untersuchungen kein Zusammenhang zwischen der Dauer des Diabetes und dem Parodontalzustand nachweisbar war [33].…”

“…Some studies reported a correlation between the duration of diabetes and periodontal destruction [17,18,26] while others detected no connection between the disease's duration and periodontal status [33].…”
