The AIM of this study was to evaluate the effect of non-surgical therapy on clinical variables and glycemic control on type 2 diabetics with chronic periodontitis.Forty six type 2 diabetics with chronic periodontitis were randomized into two groups (group A and group B). Treatment included scaling and root planning for group A plus systematic use of doxycycline in both groups. Assessment was made prior to and 16 weeks following the therapy.Analysis of data showed that both groups had clinical and glycated hemoglobin (HbAlc) improvement after the treatment. Group A had a statistically significant reduction of plaque index and bleeding on probing scores compared with controls (P0.05) at 16 weeks.These results suggest that non-surgical therapy is of value in maintaining periodontal health and may be beneficial in reducing blood glucose level in type 2 diabetics with chronic periodontitis. |
