RESUMO
BACKGROUND: Knowing the prevalence of periodontal disease, to identify some associated variables in youth population. Insulin dependent diabetes mellitus (DMID) has been included as a common variable. METHODS: Cross-sectional study over 383 individuals, 11 to 18 years old. Chi square and Odds ratio (95% confidence limits) have been determined. RESULTS: Periodontal disease prevalence is 37.53%. An epidemiological and statistical association were found with: Insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus, low social class, poor dental hygiene and plaque index over 0.20. CONCLUSIONS: Juvenile diabetic population must be considered as a high risk group for periodontal disease.

Through multiple logistic regression an epidemiological study was undertaken of the following factors: age, gender, socio-economic status, dental care, toothbrushing, chewing gum, snacking, fluoride, and of their influence on the development of tooth decay. The factors are analysed individually and globally (global model). An initial model was constructed, establishing the interactions, and developing a final model. Risk factors shown to be involved were: low social class status, lack of dental care in the previous 12 months, absence of toothbrushing, and belonging to the age group 9-12 years old. An interaction was established between the following variables: socio-economic status and toothbrushing, and dental care and age.

We have studied a population of 527 school children between 6 and 17 years old, having as main characteristic to have free odontological care. The prevalence of caries found was 40.4%. The age appears as a risk factor. However, we have not found any influence in the social status. The odontological care is considered essential in the decrease of prevalence of dental caries.

Extracted teeth due to consequence of chronic periodontitis of adult are fractured and the apical cementum to junction epithelium is examined under S.E.M. (scanning electron microscopy) being found bacterias forms inside niches of the apical cementum.
