The aim of the present study was to evaluate the association between type I diabetes mellitus DM and periodontal
disease in pregnant women. Fifty-two pregnant women aged 27.9±6.9 years with type I DM participated in the present
study. Forty-two non-pregnant type I female diabetics mean age: 27.9±6.1 years and 121 healthy non-pregnant women
mean age: 29.1±5.7 years without diabetes formed the control group. All subjects were given a clinical periodontal examination
including probing pocket depth PPD, probing attachment level PAL, assessment of plaque and gingivitis
scores SBI. Blood parameters included levels of hemoglobin, glycosylated hemoglobin, total cholesterol, triglyceride
and leukocytes. The pregnant diabetic subjects showed despite a good metabolic control significantly higher values for
the SBI compared to the controls. Pregnant diabetic subjects displayed a significant correlation between the dose of insulin
per day and PPD p0.05 as well as the PAL p0.05. In conclusion, the results of the study indicate that pregnant
diabetics demonstrate a higher degree of periodontal inflammation and destruction compared to non-pregnant diabetics
and healthy non-pregnant patients.
