Abstract

Objective:The objective of this study was to determine the effect of non-surgical periodontal therapy on the glycemic level in type 2 diabetic patients.
Material and Methods: A observational clinical trial was conducted on 25 type 2 diabetic patients attending Bacha Medical college, Mardan from January 2015 to December 2016. All the participants were undergoing non-surgical treatment for periodontal disease that includes mechanical removal of supra- and a subgingival bacterial plaque with scalers, antibiotics and or root planning. HbA1c was compared at baseline and three months. Data was compiled and analyzed through SPSS version 20. Quantitative variables like HbA1c was presented as a mean and Standard deviation.Qualitative variables like gender, education status, economic status, oral hygiene methods were described by using frequency &percentages. The paired t-test was applied to assess statistical significance in a mean difference of HbA1c between baseline and after three months.
Results: Males were 14(56.4%) while females were 11(44%). The mean age was 54.5±10.316 years. Mean gain in attachment was 0.32±0.267mm and mean reduction in pocket depth was 0.268±0.1314mm after months of periodontal therapy. The level of HbA1c after three months of periodontal therapy was reduced significantly (P value=0.01).
Conclusion: Non-surgical periodontal therapy for periodontitis is significantly improved glycaemic control (reduced HbA1c level) in type 2 diabetic patients, and it should be undertaken along with the standard measures for the diabetic patients.
