Filter by:Background : Type 1 diabetes (T1D) is associated with an increased risk of fractures. The mechanisms accounting for this bone fragility are not yet fully understood. As T1D is often diagnosed in childhood or early adulthood, the lower bone mineral density (BMD) and deteriorated bone microarchitecture observed in T1D may reflect changes in the bone that occurred before or at the time of peak bone mass achievement. There is a lack of high-quality prospective studies to determine whether adults with T1D continue to lose BMD or deteriorate bone quality compared with controls. Moreover, while chronic hyperglycemia is a risk factor for fracture in T1D, it is unknown if better glycemic control affects bone outcomes. This prospective multicenter cohort study aims: (1) To compare the changes in the following outcomes over 4 years in adults with T1D and controls without diabetes of similar age, sex and body-mass index distribution: BMD by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) at the femoral neck, hip, spine, and radius, trabecular bone score (TBS) by DXA, and serum biochemical markers of bone turnover (BTMs); (2) To evaluate whether long-term glycemic control or the presence of a microvascular complication are independent predictors of the changes in BMD and TBS in people with T1D.
The present study is a human, prospective, parallel, randomised controlled clinical trial conducted to check the interproximal bone loss of Z shaped incision over conventional sulcular H shaped incision.The trial is in accordance with the Consolidated Standards of Reporting Trials (CONSORT) criteria, 2010.
