Materials And Methods: Fifty-eight subjects with T2DM and periodontitis were randomly allocated to Treatment Group (n = 29) receiving non-surgical periodontal therapy, and Control Group (n = 29) having only oral hygiene instructions with delayed periodontal treatment until completion of this 6-month study.
Background And Objective: Subjects with diabetes and periodontitis are at high risk of cardiovascular events, while the subclinical alterations of cardiac function in this cohort remain unclear. This cross-sectional study investigated the association of periodontitis with left ventricle (LV) structural and functional abnormalities in subjects with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM).
Material And Methods: A total of 115 subjects with T2DM were divided into Control group (n = 32) with no or mild periodontitis, and the rest with moderate to severe chronic periodontitis (CP) were further categorized into CP-1 (n = 41) and CP-2 (n = 42) based on disease severity.
Background: Periodontitis is closely linked with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and endothelial dysfunction. This study investigated the effects of periodontal treatment on immuno-inflammatory gene expression of endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs) in diabetic patients.
Methods: Eighteen T2DM patients with moderate to severe chronic periodontitis were randomly assigned to the Treatment group with oral hygiene instruction (OHI), scaling and root debridement (n = 11), and Control group (n = 7) with OHI alone.
