ABSTRACT

Objective: to evaluate the effect of non-surgical periodontal treatment on the metabolic control, measured by HbA1c in uncontrolled type 2 diabetes mellitus patients with periodontal disease treated with the ADA-EASD algorithm.
Methods: the study group consisted of 38 patients diagnosed with type 2 diabetes mellitus and periodontal disease, attending a benefit clinic. HbA1c measures were obtained before and after 3 months of the non-surgical periodontal treatment. T student test for dependent samples was applied with a p value less than 0.05 for statistical significance.
Results: from the total sample, 79 % was female, and mean age was of 51 ± 9.8 years old. Mean HbA1c at baseline was of 8.6 %, and 8 % at exit. The mean reduction was statistically significant (p = 0.026). After non-surgical periodontal treatment, the prevalence of periodontal disease was of 8 %. The mean of personal plaque control before and after the treatment decreased from 82.6 % to 35.5 % (p ‹ 0.000).
Conclusions: consistent with similar previous studies, in this study we demonstrate progress in glycemic control, remission of periodontal disease and improved personal plaque control.
