Abstract
Background: Diabetes mellitus and periodontitis are common diseases, there is a two-way relationship between oral health and systemic disease. Periodontal treatment helps glycaemic control, and in contrast, glycaemic control can make periodontal status better. Aim: To assess the effect of periodontal treatment on glycemic control in type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM) patients Materials and Methods: Study design of clinical trials without control group, the sample included 50 type 2 diabetes patients with moderated periodontitis status. Patients received oral hygiene instructions, full-mouth scaling and root planing. Data collection included plaque index (PlI), gingival index (GI), probing pocket depth (PPD), clinical attachment levels (CAL), bleeding on probing (BOP) and glycated haemoglobin (HbA1c) were recorded at baseline and three month after treatment. Results: After 3-month treatment, there were a significant change in PlI, GI, PPD, CAL, BOP and HbA1c levels (p < 0.01). A statistically significant effect could be demonstrated for PlI, GI, PPD, CAL, BOP and HbA1c levels. Conclusion: The results of this study showed that non-surgical periodontal treatment is improved not only periodontal health and also glycaemic control in type 2 diabetes mellitus patients. Key words: Type 2 diabetes mellitus, periodontitis, glycemic control
