Outcomes of Periodontal Treatment on Patients with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus and Periodontal Disease's Metabolic Control

Abstract

Introduction: Periodontal disease (PD) is a chronic inflammatory disease that destroys the gingiva or tooth-supporting tissues. Methodology: 260 patients from the diabetes clinic were referred to the dental clinic for treatment. 92 patients, or 35% of the type 2 DM patients who received contact letters, began dental treatment. 169 people were left, and 65% of them didn't make a dental appointment. The therapeutic goal of dental therapy was to get rid of infections in the periapical areas of teeth and from periodontal disorders. Results: The frequency distribution of the percent pre/post changes in HbA1C in the control and treatment groups is compared in Table 3 between the two groups. Ten control individuals and five treatment subjects, out of each group's 36 participants, showed essentially no change in HgA1c levels (o5%) during the investigation's 10-month timeframe. 10 control subjects and 4 treatment subjects experienced worsening glucose control during this time. In contrast, glucose control significantly got better in 27 treatment patients and 16 control subjects. Conclusion: We interpret the data in the study to suggest that periodontal therapy was associated with improved glycemic control in persons with type 2 DM.
