title: [Clinical study on the prevalence of dental caries in patients with juvenile diabetes mellitus].
abstract: The authors present the results of a epidemiological transversal study concerning 26 type I diabetic patients: as a control have been observed 24 healthy subjects, similar for age and sex to the diabetic patients. The results show a higher incidence of caries in diabetic patients than in the healthy subjects; this is probably due to the high carbohydrates diet of the young patients.
