Abstract
The objective of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of two modalities of treatment through clinical periodontal parameters in glycemic control of patients with diabetes mellitus and periodontal disease. 40 patients, who had not been submitted to conventional periodontal scaling and root planning, were selected and divided into two groups: (1) conventional periodontal treatment with scaling and root planning plus mechanical control, and (2) periodontal treatment (one-stage full-mouth disinfection) plus mechanical control. The analysis was carried at 0, 3 and 6 months, including probing depth, level of clinical attachment and bleeding on probing with evaluation of glycated hemoglobin. Only group 1 showed a significant reduction in bleeding on probing, while only group 2 showed a significant reduction in probing depth. The level of clinical attachment showed improvement in both the groups after 6 months. In the glycated hemoglobin test, only group 1 significantly reduced after 6 months, while for group 2 there was a reduction after 3 months and a significant increase after 6 months. We suggest that after a period of 6 months, the basic periodontal treatment is more efficient for glycemic control in patients with type 2 diabetes with periodontal disease.
