Diabetes mellitus is common in the Maltese. Patients in whom diabetes was first diagnosed before the age of 25 years were examined to determine their oral status and to compare their levels of disease with oral disease in non-diabetic age-matched control subjects. No patient was older than 29 years. Compared with control subjects, the diabetic patients showed differences in both caries and periodontal disease experience. Those with poor metabolic control of their diabetes showed oral disease patterns different to the stable diabetics.
糖尿病在马耳他人中很常见。对首次在25岁之前被诊断出糖尿病的患者进行检查，以确定他们的口腔状况，并将他们的疾病水平与年龄匹配的非糖尿病对照受试者的口腔疾病进行比较。没有患者年龄超过29岁。与对照受试者相比，糖尿病患者在龋齿和牙周疾病经历方面均表现出差异。糖尿病代谢控制不佳的患者表现出与病情稳定的糖尿病患者不同的口腔疾病模式。
