Evaluation and association of periodontal status with levels of in chronic periodontitis with and without Type 2 diabetes mellitus following nonsurgical periodontal therapy using quantitative polymerase chain reaction: An interventional study.

Background: The aim of the present study was to detect and correlate the levels of with clinical parameters after nonsurgical periodontal therapy (NSPT) in chronic periodontitis patients with or without Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), using quantitative polymerase chain reaction (Q-PCR) method.

Materials And Methods: Sixty patients equally divided into three groups, i.e.

Relevance of single-nucleotide polymorphism to the expression of resistin gene affecting serum and gingival crevicular fluid resistin levels in chronic periodontitis and type 2 diabetes mellitus: A randomized control clinical trial.

Aim: The present study is aimed to investigate whether single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) of resistin gene (RETN) at -420 and +299 sites, is associated with resistin levels in serum and gingival crevicular fluid (GCF) in periodontally healthy, chronic periodontitis (CP) with and without type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) patients.

Materials And Methods: Serum and GCF samples were procured from all the 60 patients (twenty in each group) of the three study groups i.e.
