Aim: The current study aimed at analyzing the effect of non-surgical periodontal treatment accompanied by systemic antibiotics on salivary enzyme activities, periodontal parameters, and glycemic control in type-2 diabetic (T2D) patients with chronic periodontitis.
Methods: The study included 125 type-2 diabetic patients with chronic periodontitis who had good glycemic control (T2Dc), 125 type-2 diabetics who had bad glycemic control (T2Dpc). The 125 T2Dpc were divided randomly into two groups.
Background/purpose: Studies have shown that there is a possible correlation between the amount of glycated hemoglobin and the periodontal status. The goal of this study was to investigate the relationship between glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) and the prevalence of gingival pathogens and circulating interleukin levels in type II diabetic Tunisian subjects.
Material And Methods: The research included four groups; 30 healthy subjects (H group), 30 non-diabetic subjects suffering from chronic periodontitis (CP group).
Background: The purpose of the present study was to assess saliva reliability in diagnosis and monitoring type 2 diabetes instead of blood.
Methods: Blood and unstimulated whole saliva were collected from 300 type 2 diabetic subjects and 300 healthy controls in fasting. Then, the salivary flow rate was calculated.
Objective: The aim of the present study was to investigate the oral manifestations and salivary composition in type 2 diabetics with periodontitis and to evaluate their association with CA6 gene polymorphism rs2274327.
Methods: Oral examination was performed by a single periodontist for 300 type 2 diabetics. Whole unstimulated saliva and blood were collected.
