Objectives: This study aims to assess the oral health status of diabetic children in comparison with a control group, to appreciate
the impact of diabetes mellitus and its treatment on oral and dental health and to test their knowledge regarding oral hygiene.
Material and Methods: This transversal epidemiological study
with comparative purpose was conducted on 100 diabetic
children aged 2 to 16 years followed in the service of the University
Hospital of Pediatrics II HAROUCHI and within the association
“Hayat” to support children with diabetes, and 100 healthy model
children aged 3-15 years from two public schools and one private
school. Through a questioning and an oral examination, the parameters of
diabetes, oral and dental hygiene, and the dental status
were determined.

the patient group versus 1.542 for the control group. In the
group of sick children and tartar was present in 62% of cases.
