Article Synopsis
  • A study looked at how strong the roots of teeth from diabetic patients are when under pressure compared to non-diabetic teeth.
  • They used different materials to fill the teeth, like white mineral trioxide aggregate (WMTA) and another mixture with an additive, to see which helped make the teeth stronger.
  • The results showed that teeth from diabetic patients were more likely to break, but using WMTA or WMTA with an additive made them stronger and less likely to fracture.

Objective: The purpose of this study was to determine whether there is a difference in body composition and the factors that are associated with fat mass in the large-for-gestational-age infants of women with gestational diabetes mellitus compared with the large-for-gestational-age infants of women with normal glucose tolerance levels.

Study Design: Large for gestational age was defined as weight >90th percentile for gestational age, race, and sex on the basis of our population's normative data. Anthropometric measurements and/or total body electrical conductivity estimated body composition that included fat mass, percent body fat, and lean body mass were obtained.
