[Buccal manifestations of type I diabetes mellitus. Study of its oral symptomatology and dental involvement].
We are hereby presenting a survey conducted on 44 diabetic patients of the I type and 44 health individuals used as a reference group. In the light of the results of the survey in question a poorer oral hygiene for the I type insulin-dependent diabetic patients than for those in the control group has been detected (E.G. whereas 40.91% of the diabetic patients exhibited a very poor hygiene, the rate detected for the control group amounted to 22.72% only). Nevertheless, this poorer hygiene did not seem to influence caries level direct since no meaningful difference in the two groups CAO indexes was detected at all. Cellulitis was very frequent in the diabetic group whereas post-extraction alveolitis and mouth dryness were found at comparable levels in the two groups.
