Article Synopsis
- The systematic review evaluated how periodontal therapy affects inflammation and oxidative stress markers in type 2 diabetes patients with periodontitis.
- Reviews of 1,062 studies identified 14 eligible trials with 1,223 participants, showing moderate-quality evidence that periodontal treatment lowers c-reactive protein levels, a marker of inflammation, particularly notable in smokers.
- The findings suggest that non-surgical periodontal therapy can reduce systemic inflammation in T2DM patients, potentially lowering risks for other serious conditions like cardiovascular disease.
