Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Improvement is expected to be found in acute systemic inflammation when patients are treated with metformin. We expect lower levels of the marker High sensitive C-Reactive Protein on metformin treated group when compared to placebo.
Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
We expect lower levels of other systemic inflammation markers on metformin treated group when compared to placebo (RBC Sedimentation Velocity, Interleukin-6, Interleukin-10, Fibrinogen, Tumor Necrosis Factor – alpha). ;Also, we expect lower levels of local inflammatory markers on metformin treated group when compared to placebo, when we analyse the gingival crevicular fluid (verified by analyzing the levels of interleukin-2, interleukin-4, interleukin-6, interleukin-8, interleukin-10, Granulocyte and Macrophage Colony Stimulating Factor and Tumor Necrosis Factor) and periodontal parameters (verified by plaque index, gingival bleeding index, probing depth and clinical attachment level).
