Abstract
Chronic periodontitis is a common complication in diabetes. The aim of this study
was to evaluate some clinical and microbiological parameters in controlled and uncontrolled type 2
diabetes mellitus (type 2 DM) patients compared to non-diabetic (NDM) individuals, as well as to
assess the effect of non-surgical periodontal therapy on these parameters. The study was performed in
61 type 2 DM patients with periodontitis (group 1A: 29 patients having achieved good metabolic
control, HbA1c <7%; group 1B: 32 patients with poor metabolic control, HbA1c ≥7%), and 31 NDM
individuals suffering from periodontitis. Periodontal indices (plaque index, PI; gingival index, GI;
probing pocket depth, PPD; and clinical attachment level, CAL) were measured and subgingival
plaque samples were analyzed using polymerase chain reaction prior to treatment initiation and 3
months post-treatment. The results recorded on the majority of measured parameters indicated that
differences in treatment success achieved in the three treatment groups were not statistically significant
(ΔPI p=0.646; ΔGI p=0.303; and ΔCAL p=0.233). Likewise, comparison of the effectiveness in
microorganism reduction revealed no significant differences between DM groups and NDM patients.
Therefore, study results supported the hypothesis that periodontal therapy outcome was unaffected by
the level of glycemic control in patients with diabetes.
