Investigation of Mauritian non-insulin diabetic periodontal health.
In Port Louis, the capital of Mauritius, 24 patients with non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus were matched by age with 24 controls. Because matching was incomplete for gender and race, the groups were treated as independent for data analysis. Operator-blind scores were recorded for the presence of plaque, bleeding on probing, probing depth, recession and probing attachment level.
When variations in plaque and age were taken into account, there was a significant difference in probing attachment level between the groups (diabetic mean = 4.16 mm, control mean = 3.09 mm), and an effect of gender on gingival bleeding which may relate to tobacco smoking.
In an isolated community with a 13% prevalence of NIDDM, this study confirms previous periodontal findings regarding the effect of the disease.
调查毛里求斯非胰岛素依赖型糖尿病患者的牙周健康状况。
在毛里求斯首都路易港,24例非胰岛素依赖型糖尿病患者与24名对照者按年龄匹配。由于在性别和种族方面匹配不完全,两组在数据分析时被视为独立组。记录检查者盲法评分,包括菌斑的存在情况、探诊出血、探诊深度、牙龈退缩和探诊附着水平。
在考虑菌斑和年龄差异后,两组间探诊附着水平存在显著差异(糖尿病组平均为4.16毫米,对照组平均为3.09毫米),性别对牙龈出血有影响,这可能与吸烟有关。
在非胰岛素依赖型糖尿病患病率为13%的孤立社区中,本研究证实了先前关于该疾病影响的牙周研究结果。
