Non-surgical Periodontal Therapy Effects Metabolic Control in Diabetics

Metabolic Control Clinical Trial

Official title: Evaluation of Effect of Nonsurgical Periodontal Therapy on Metabolic Control in Patients With Type II Diabetes

Status Completed

Clinical Trial Summary

The purpose of this study is to determine whether nonsurgical periodontal therapy is effective in the metabolic control of patients with type II Diabetes mellitus.

Clinical Trial Description

Type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM2), the most common type of diabetes, is characterized by hyperglycemia, hyperlipidemia, and associated complications. The classic major complications of diabetes are microangiopathy, nephropathy, neuropathy, macrovascular disease, delayed wound healing, and periodontitis. There is an interacting, complex relationship between diabetes and periodontitis.Many studies have shown a greater incidence and a greater severity of periodontitis in diabetic patients.Meanwhile, a number of studies have suggested that periodontitis may actually be a risk factor for diabetic complications as well. This study is performed to investigate the effects of non-surgical periodontal therapy on metabolic control in DM2 patients. ;
