Immune-inflammatory chronic periodontal disease in diabetic pediatric patients
Keywords:
periodontal disease, diabetes mellitus type I, pediatric age.Abstract
Introduction: the first demonstrations of chronic periodontal immune inflammatory disease in Diabetes Mellitus patients appear from early ages, as a bidirectional relation between these two diseases.
Objective: determine the clinical and epidemiology behaviour of chronic periodontal immune inflammatory disease in diabetic children and adolescent younger than 19 years of age.
Method: a transversal descriptive study was carried out from 2011 to 2013, to all the patients who attended to the Endocrinology Service at the William Soler Hospital. The work universe was constituted by 80 patients, coinciding with the total of those examined. The studied variables were: age, sex, periodontal status, accumulators of plaque factors, presence of the smoking habit which was evaluated in patients older than 12 years of age, as well as the time of ailment and the metabolic control of the Diabetes Mellitus. A questionnaire was applied to parents and/or tutors and children buccal examination, using in each case Russell IP-R to evaluate the seriousness of the periodontal disease and Buccal Hygiene Index (Revised Form). The statistical analysis was applied through descriptive methods and non-parametric methods.
Results: more than 90 % of the patients were affected; a significant association between the metabolic control and the seriousness of the chronic periodontal immune inflammatory disease was shown.
Conclusions: this type of disease had a high prevalence and severity in pediatric diabetic patients.
