Abstract

Diabetic patients struggle to maintain their blood glucose near normal levels to avoid the occurrence of hypo- or hyperglycemia discomfort. Dental practitioners must foresee such complications as they can also take place during dental treatment. Aim and objective: This study aims to evaluate the impact of the type and duration of dental treatment on the blood glucose level (BGL) fluctuation in type 1 unbalanced diabetic children [hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) >7]. Material and methods: A cross-sectional approach was conducted on 83 type 1 unbalanced diabetic children (HbA1c) > 7%, aged between 7 years and 12 years, divided into 40 females and 43 males in the Department of Pediatric Dentistry at the Lebanese University in Beirut. For dental treatments, diabetic children were scheduled for morning sessions 60–90 minutes after breakfast intake and a habitual insulin shot. Only patients with a BGL between 70 mg/dL and 300 mg/dL underwent dental treatments. The type, the duration of the dental session, and the BGL at the baseline (T0), and at the end of the session (T1) were recorded. The dental acts were classified into simple (without local anesthesia) and unpleasant with a solution of 2% lignocaine with 1:200,000 epinephrine. Statistical analyses were performed. Results: Fifty of 83 showed a decrease in their BGLs after dental treatments, 20 an increase, and 13 no change. For both genders, in simple acts, a statistical significance was noted (p = 0.0002) for the female and (p = 0.0014) for the males. Conclusion: Treatment unbalanced diabetic children can be safely done by taking some precautions and measures to avoid a hypo- or hyperglycemia episode.
