Abstract:

Objective

To evaluate the effect of initial therapy on the control of clinical variables and blood glucose level on type 2 diabetic patients with chronic periodontitis.

Methods

Fifty-two type 2 diabetic patients with chronic periodontitis were randomized into two groups(group A and group B). Treatment including scaling and root planning with systemic use of doxycycline were given to patients in Group A, while patients in Group B were only provided ith systemic use of doxycycline. Clinical variables and glycated hemoglobin were assessed before and after the treatment.

Results

16 weeks after therapy, group A had a statistically significant reduction on plaque index and bleeding on probing (P<0.001), with a significant difference in plaque index between the two groups (P<0.001). Some improvements were observed on other clinical variables and glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) level in both groups althongh statistical significance was not detected (P>0.05).

Conclusion

This study suggests that initial therapy is of value in maintaining periodontal health and may be beneficial to the reduction of blood glucose level in type 2 diabetic patients with chronic periodontitis.

Key words: Type 2 diabetes, Chronic periodontitis, Periodontal initial therapy, Glycated hemoglobin A1c
