Article Synopsis
- Glycaemic control is essential in managing diabetes, and there is a potential relationship between glycaemic control and periodontitis, an inflammation of the gums leading to tooth and tissue destruction.
- Periodontal treatment, including procedures like subgingival instrumentation and sometimes surgery, aims to remove plaque and improve gum health, which may in turn affect blood sugar levels in diabetics.
- This review investigates randomized controlled trials comparing the effects of different periodontal treatments on glycaemic control (measured by HbA1c levels) in patients with diabetes and periodontitis.
