Brief Summary

Diabetes mellitus and periodontal diseases are amongst the most prevalent disorders in the human population.For many years, attempts have been made to relate the two disorders.After years of research, it has been established that periodontal disease and diabetes mellitus share a two way relationship. Diabetes mellitus has many complications systemically and one of its complications is periodontitis. Conversely, periodontitis is more than a localized oral infection and may cause changes in the systemic physiology. Type 1 diabetes is presumed to originate from autoimmune process and is controlled by insulin administration only. Also, type 1 diabetes accounts for only 5-10% of all cases of diabetes. Type 1 diabetics, in general are too young to develop moderate or severe forms of periodontitis. Thus, our focus is usually directed towards association of periodontitis with type 2 diabetes. There is evidence to support that controlling periodontal infection plays an important role in the overall management of type 2 diabetics. An effective periodontal treatment within diabetics may inhibit the production of pro inflammatory mediators.Thus, periodontal treatment and follow up might be considered in the treatment plan of diabetic patients especially in poorly controlled glycemic level patients. Although, a major milestone has been reached, we need to have a complete understanding on the management and care of the periodontal disease in diabetic patients.It has also been suggested that use of water irrigation as an adjunctive therapy along with non surgical periodontal treatment may have an adjunctive value in establishing a more healthy periodontal environment. There is paucity of literature related to the use of oral sub gingival home irrigation as an adjunct to non- surgical periodontal therapy in type 2 diabetics.Hence, the purpose of our study is aimed at treating type 2 diabetic patients with  generalized chronic periodontitis by non- surgical periodontal therapy along with the adjunctive use of sub gingival water irrigation system as homecare maintenance for a period of 3 months and compare the value of clinical and diabetic parameters in order to evaluate the efficacy of our treatment.
