Not Applicable
Completed
Conditions
Chronic Periodontitis
Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus
Interventions
Procedure: Nonsurgical periodontal treatment
Procedure: Dental Prophylaxis
Registration Number
NCT02652026
Lead Sponsor
University of Barcelona
Brief Summary

The main objective is to evaluate the effect of nonsurgical periodontal treatment on serum levels of HbA1c in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). This study is a 6-month, single-masked, randomized clinical trial.A total of 90 patients with diabetes and chronic generalized periodontal disease will be randomly divided into 2 groups: Treatment Group, Control Group.

Detailed Description

Background: Periodontitis and diabetes are both highly prevalent conditions, and the association between these two common diseases has been recognised by dental professionals for many years.

Aim: The main objective is to evaluate the effect of nonsurgical periodontal treatment on serum levels of HbA1c in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM).

Methods: This study is a 6-month, single-masked, randomized clinical trial.A total of 90 patients with diabetes and chronic generalized periodontal disease will be randomly divided into 2 groups: Treatment Group (TG) (Oral Hygiene Instructions (OHI) + scaling and root planing (RAR) using ultrasound device and Gracey curettes); Control Group (CG) (OHI + supragingival removal of plaque and calculus with ultrasonic device). CG patients receive salvage therapy if a significant worsening of their periodontal status and / or metabolic observed. Periodontal assesment (probing pocket depth (PPD), gingival index (GI), and plaque index (PI)) and systemic assesment (random blood sugar, glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1C), and salivary cytokines) and bacterial asessment at baseline and 3, 6 months after treatment is performed. There will be a single examiner, blind and calibrated to improve reproducibility. The investigators' hypothesis is that non-surgical periodontal treatment reduces HbA1c, improving metabolic control in patients with DM

Treatment GroupNonsurgical periodontal treatmentThe Treatment Group (TG) received full mouth debridement, which consisted of scaling and root planing (SRP), was done in a single visit using an ultrasonic scaler (SATELEC P5 Newtron, Acteon, Merignac, France) and Gracey curettes (Hu- Friedy, Chicago, USA).Also received Oral Hygienic Instructions
