Effect of scaling and root planing on gingival crevicular fluid levels of adrenomedullin in chronic periodontitis patients with and without diabetes mellitus type 2: A clinico-biochemical study.

Background: Increased plasma adrenomedullin levels are usually observed in certain conditions such as diabetes mellitus (DM).

Aims And Objectives: To gauge adrenomedullin values in the gingival crevicular fluid (GCF) of healthy individuals, chronic periodontitis (CP) patients with and without DM, and diabetics without any periodontal involvement, prior and after periodontal therapy.

Materials And Methods: A total of 120 subjects were segregated into four categories of 30 each: Group 1 (healthy subjects), Group 2 (CP without DM), Group 3 (patients with CP and DM), and Group 4 (diabetics without any periodontal involvement).
