“…In the experimental research on rats with artificially induced diabetes with streptozotocin Giglio and Lama [11] showed a statistically significant reduction of mandibular growth in all dimensions compared with the control group, which in some individuals resulted in deformation of the mandible. The results showed a reduction in growth of symphyseal, coronoid, and alveolar heights, condyloid, angular, and base lengths, and condyloid width for diabetic animals.…”
