ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE: To evaluate periodontal condition of diabetic children and its related factors. METHODS: The plaque index (PI), sites with bleeding on probing (BOP), probing depth (PD) and clinical attachment level (CAL) were evaluated in all occlusion permanent teeth of 168 non smoking type 1 diabetic children, 13 +/- 3.5 years old. The PI and BOP evaluations were also performed in deciduous teeth. RESULTS: It was observed a prevalence of 20.8% of gingivitis and 5.9% of periodontitis. Those individuals with poor metabolic control had higher percentage of affected sites on PD (p = 0.004) and on CAL (p = 0.014). Patients having more than five years with diabetes mellitus type 1 showed higher percentual of affected sites on PD (p = 0.002), on BOP (p < 0.001) and on CAL (p = 0.007). CONCLUSIONS: DM1 duration and poor glycemic control were significantly associated with periodontal disturbances suggesting higher susceptibility of this population in developing DP.

OBJETIVO: Avaliar a condição periodontal de crianças e adolescentes diabéticos e fatores relacionados. MÉTODOS: O índice de placa (IPL), sítios com sangramento à sondagem (SS), profundidade de sondagem (PS) e nível de inserção clínica (NIC) foram avaliados em todos os dentes permanentes em oclusão de 168 diabéticos tipo 1, não fumantes, com 13 ± 3,5 anos de idade. IPL e SS foram avaliados também em dentes decíduos. RESULTADOS: Observou-se prevalência de 20,8 por cento de gengivite e 5,9 por cento de periodontite. Indivíduos com mau controle metabólico tiveram maiores percentuais de sítios com alteração da PS (p = 0,004) e NIC (p = 0,014). Indivíduos com > 5 anos de doença apresentaram maiores percentuais de sítios afetados à avaliação da PS (p = 0,002), NIC (p = 0,007) e SS (p < 0,001). CONCLUSÕES: Maior duração do diabetes melito tipo 1 e mau controle metabólico foram significativamente associados a alterações periodontais indicando maior suscetibilidade para doença periodontal nessa população.

Individuals with craniofacial deformities have a higher risk of developing oral diseases. This article discusses craniosynostosis and its oral problems. Dental treatment protocols based on general, facial, oral, and psychological aspects are offered.
