Background: Hyperglycemia, is an effect of diabetes not controlled which over time leads to serious damage to many organ systems nerves and blood vessels. Theses complications are diverse and varied, especially in the oral cavity and in the long term, make the disease serious. If complications of diabetes on oral health state are widely described in the literature, what can we say about the effect of oral health on blood sugar balance, its seams that we are talking more and more about the existence of a bidirectional association.

The aim was to define weather there is reciprocal associations between the characteristics of diabetes and the oral heath state.

Description of the procedure: it is an analytical study type case control had for main objective: to assess the oral repercussions of type 1 diabetes in children and adolescents of the city of Rabat in comparison with a control population and to determinate the associations between the characteristics of diabetes and the oral state.

Outcomes: In our examined population, all the indices of periodontal disease were influenced by diabetes: The mean plaque index of diabetic subjects was 0.97 ± 0.28 while that of controls was 0.45 ± 0.30 with a statistically significant difference (p = 0.05).

The same was found for the gingival index, in diabetics groups was 0.96 ± 0.34 while that of controls was 0.58 ± 0.28 with a statistically insignificant difference (p = 0.55). a high prevalence of inflammatory gum tissue of 84% as well in diabetic subjects than in the control group with a statistically difference significant (p = 0.022), tartaric deposit where diabetic subjects presented more tartar than control subjects with a statistically significant difference (p = 0.001).

Conclusions: There is indeed a two-way association between diabetes and oral health.

The diabetes would influence the oral health state and the oral health state would affect the glycemic balance
