Abstract
Background: The physiological changes in subjects suffering from Type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) have a conspicuous influence on oral health status. Aims: Evaluate salivary flow rate, plaque accumulation, diet history, glycemic control and its impact on dental caries in T1DM and Controls. Methods and Material: A Cross-sectional analytical study was performed in a hospital situated in Bengaluru. Hundred subjects suffering from TIDM and 200 age and sex matched controls were selected. Association between Caries risk factors and prevalence of dental caries was obtained. Results: The mean glycated hemoglobin value in the diabetics was 9.7 ± 1.9. Salivary flow rate and sweet score was lower in the diabetic patients as compared to controls. The prevalence of dental caries and accumulation of plaque was significantly more in T1DM patients (P<0.001). Conclusions: Dental caries prevalence is higher in T1DM patients.
