There are more than one million children and adolescents living with type 1 diabetes
mellitus, and their number is steadily increasing. Diabetes affects oral health through
numerous channels, including hyposalivation, immune suppression, and the inflammatory
effect of glycation end-products. However, patients with type 1 diabetes must follow
a strict sugar free diet that is proven to be carioprotective. Therefore, the aim
of this systematic review and meta-analysis is to investigate whether children with
type 1 diabetes have a difference in Decayed, Missing, Filled Teeth index (DMFT),
salivary function, and periodontal status than children without diabetes, with an
emphasis on glycemic control.
