Abstract

The purpose of this study is to provide evidence of the relation between the two diseases while evaluating the periodontal health of the type 1 diabetic children and adolescents. The total number of participants were 148; 41 diabetics, and 107 controls. Logistic regression revealed that the possibility of contracting diabetes is 2.71 times higher (p=0.042) as the number of brushing increases, 26.08 times higher (p<0.001) as the gingival index gets higher, 23.37 times higher (p=0.010) for those who have any attachment loss than who have not, and 5.57 times higher (p=0.009) for those involved in their family history than who are not. The gingival index and the attachment loss of the type 1 diabetic youth were likely to be higher than those in healthy controls.
