In South Africa, the prevalence of PD and its impact on T1DM children is however unknown. This study aimed to assess the prevalence of PD in T1DM children and adolescents attending the Paediatric Diabetic Clinic at Tygerberg Hospital and to assess the impact of metabolic control on the periodontal status.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>A cross-sectional study was conducted to assess the periodontal status of T1DM patients. A basic periodontal examination (BPE) was performed and information on the HbA1c level, type and duration of T1DM, age, sex, BMI percentile, and pubertal status was gathered from patient records. A logistic regression model was used to identify associations between periodontal health status and risk factors.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      All 169 T1DM participants [median age 11.0 (9.0, 14) years] presented with PD. Based on BPE codes, 124 (73%) had gingivitis and 45 (27%) had periodontitis. The median HbA1c was significantly higher in the periodontitis group [12.6% (IQR: 10.4\u201313.6)] compared to the gingivitis group [8.9% (IQR: 8.1\u20139.9)] was statistically significant\n                      <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009=\u2009&amp;lt;0.001.

These findings underscore the need to intensify both diabetes management and dental care through integrated, long-term approaches.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.3389\/fdmed.2025.1454008","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,11,18]],"date-time":"2025-11-18T06:23:25Z","timestamp":1763447005000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3389\/crossmark-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Periodontal health and metabolic status of type 1 diabetic children and adolescents"],"prefix":"10.3389","volume":"6","author":[{"given":"L.
