The overall injury rate was 52%. It was found that the incidence of people with oral diseases was 60%, and the rate was 33.3% in healthy subjects. And that the rate of infection in persons with gingivitis is the highest rate of infection among oral diseases, as the rate reached 80% and the lowest incidence of 30% for those with tooth decay disease. The incidence of oral diseases and those suffering from diabetes is 61%, and the incidence of persons with oral diseases and those suffering from type 1 diabetes is the highest incidence of persons with oral diseases and those suffering from diabetes type II, as the rate reached 66.6, 55.5%, respectively.
