[Caries, gingivitis and periodontitis in l2- to 14-year olds under conditions of sugar restriction--research on type-1 diabetics].

In observing medical prescriptions the therapeutic diet of the diabetic children is a model of stomatologic preventive behaviour of nutrition. Compared are clinical dental statements of children, differently long diseased on diabetes mellitus and those with healthy metabolism of the same age. After 5 years restriction of sugar the dental statements of diabetic children show a third less carious destruction then the group in comparison. Gingivitis are widely spread in this group of age, but after the criteria of the sulcus-bleeding index they are less marked distinctly. Bone destructions of the marginal periodontium can be observed on bite-wing-radiograms of lateral teeth at 5.7% of patients.
