MENDIETA HERNANDEZ, Maliena; TRUJILLO SAINZ, Zenobia de la Caridad e AFRE SOCORRO, Ana Lina. Oral health status of patients with Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus. Rev Ciencias Médicas [online]. 2023, vol.27, n.2 Epub 01-Mar-2023. ISSN 1561-3194.
Introduction:
one of the diseases that most affects the population from the oral point of view is Diabetes Mellitus, which has a tendency to increase its prevalence worldwide.
Objective:
to characterize the oral health status of patients diagnosed with Diabetes Mellitus Type 1.
Methods:
descriptive observational research, cross-sectional in the period from July 2020 to February 2021. Universe: 60 patients attended at the Endocrinology Office of the Provincial Center for Diabetic Care, Pinar del Río. Non-probabilistic purposive sampling of 26 patients according to inclusion criteria. Sociodemographic variables, oral diseases, family history and time of evolution of Diabetes Mellitus Type 1 were studied. Empirical methods were used: observation and interview; statistics: absolute and relative frequencies; Pearson's Chi-square statistic for a significance level of p<0.05 and Cramer's V coefficient.
Results:
female sex, age group 12-18 years (53,84 %) and white skin color (76,92 %), gingivopathies (69,23 %) and patients with a family history of Diabetes Mellitus Type 1 (65,38 %) predominated. By establishing the chi-square statistical calculation, a link was determined between oral diseases and the time of evolution of Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus (p<0,05).
Conclusions:
in the population studied, a statistically significant relationship was confirmed between oral diseases and the time of evolution of Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus, so it is necessary to prioritize stomatological attention to these patients.
