Abstract
Background: As prevalence of diabetes in children increases, so does its oral complications. The association between dental caries and diabetes has received lesser attention compared to periodontal diseases. This study was carried out to evaluate and detect the relationship between dental caries and physiological factors of saliva in children with uncontrolled type 1 diabetes mellitus. Methods: This age and gender matched case control study was done on 45 children with uncontrolled type 1 diabetes mellitus and 45 unaffected school going children selected by simple random sampling. Type III clinical examination was carried out for DMFT status. Unstimulated whole saliva was collected and flow rate and pH was measured. Stimulated whole saliva was collected after the subject chewed paraffin wax and buffering capacity of saliva was calculated according to manufacturer’s instruction. Results :Mean DMFT score was higher in uncontrolled type 1 diabetic children but unstimulated salivary flow rate, stimulated salivary flow rate, salivary pH and buffering capacity of saliva was lower than unaffected school going children and statistically significant. Conclusions: High caries experience in this study population could be mainly related to changes in saliva, such as reduced salivary flow rate, buffering effect and pH, induced by poorly controlled diabetes.
