Abstract
Background: Knowing the prevalence of periodontal disease, to identify some associated variables in youth population. Insulin dependent diabetes mellitus (DMID) has been included as a common variable.
Methods: Cross-sectional study over 383 individuals, 11 to 18 years old. Chi square and Odds ratio (95% confidence limits) have been determined.
Results: Periodontal disease prevalence is 37.53%. An epidemiological and statistical association were found with: Insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus, low social class, poor dental hygiene and plaque index over 0.20.
Conclusions: Juvenile diabetic population must be considered as a high risk group for periodontal disease.
