Summary
The purpose of the study is to substantiate the basic principles of treatment and clinical dental observation of children with acute odontogenic inflammatory disease and insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus as an accompanying disease.
Material and methods. A medical examination was conducted for 213 children who were treated at the St. Petersburg city children’s hospital of K.A. Raukhus of. The dental status of children with insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus and children of the control group without concomitant diseases was assessed using the Fedorov-Volodkina index, the KPU index and analysis of the caries intensity according to the T.F. Vinogradova table, periodontal conditions according to the PMA index (papillary-marginal-alveolar). The state of microhemocirculation of periodontal tissues was also assessed using Doppler ultrasound and the use of a reflex cold test. In children diagnosed with “Acute odontogenic osteomyelitis of the jaws,” laboratory blood parameters, the composition of the microbial flora of wound discharge, and the length of hospitalization were studied.
Results. Based on the data obtained, an algorithm for treatment and dispensary dental observation of children with diabetes was presented. The detection of diabetes mellitus in children of any age should be accompanied by increased attention to the dental health of these patients. If teeth affected by caries are identified during a preventive examination, immediate treatment is required. It is necessary to ensure constant follow-up of the child by an endocrinologist.
Doppler examination of the microhemocirculatory bed vessels of the mucosa of the alveolar process of the jaw revealed that an adequate response to a reflex cold test was detected only in the control group patients, those who do not have insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus.
With the development of acute odontogenic osteomyelitis of the jaw in children suffering from insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus, hospitalization is necessary when the first clinical symptoms of the inflammatory process appear. Immediately after hospitalization and immediate surgical sanitation of a purulent focus of infection in the oral cavity, drug therapy should be started: antibacterial, infusion, symptomatic, as well as insulin therapy.
The results of this study are especially relevant in the treatment of children with a duration of insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus of more than 5 years and a decompensated course of endocrine disease.
Conclusions. The results of the study allowed us to expand our understanding of the impact of diabetes on the oral health of children, to establish risk factors for the development of acute odontogenic osteomyelitis of the jaws in children of different age categories with insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus, as well as the characteristics of the course of odontogenic osteomyelitis of the jaws in each of the cases. Based on the identified features, the principles of diagnosis and treatment of acute odontogenic osteomyelitis of the jaws in children with insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus have been formulated.

Keywords: children, diabetes mellitus, dental status, acute odontogenic osteomyelitis of the jaws.
