Conditions: Type 2 diabetes mellitus without complications,

Registration Number: CTRI/2019/02/017737

Lead Sponsor: Pulivarthi Praneetha

Brief Summary: A randomised clinical trial will be conducted by department of periodontology Narayana Dental College and Hospital Nellore, Andhra Pradesh, India

Patients aged 30 - 60 years based on inclusion and exclusion criteria were selected from the Department of Periodontology, Narayana dental hospital Nellore, Andhra Pradesh.

All the participants will be explained about the aim, nature and design of the study along with the written informed consent for their participation (Annexure) before the commencement of the study.

An assessment of PPD, CAL, BIeeding index (BI) (Muhlemann & Son),Plaque Index (PI) (silness and loe) was done using UNC-15 probes Hu-friedyâ€™s

Patients will be grouped into

**Group A**: Participants with periodontitis alone.

**Group B**: Participants with periodontitis and type 2 diabetes mellitus.

**Group A1**: Participants of the group a receiving SRP (Scaling and Root planing)

alone.

**Group A2**: Participants of the group a receiving SRP + LLLT (Low-Level Laser

Therapy).

**Group B1**: Participants of group b receiving SRP (Scaling and Root Planing) alone.

**Group B2**: Participants of group b receiving SRP + LLLT (Low-Level Laser

Therapy

Scaling and root planing is performed under local anesthesia by ultrasonic scalers in all groups, followed by low-energy-level diode laser(630-670nm) was applied externally with a light contact to the gingival tissues corresponding to pockets in apico-coronal direction for 15s per site, scanning both lingual and buccal side in group A2 and group B2. Oral hygiene instructions were given to participants.

Three milliliters of unstimulated whole expectorated saliva will be collected from each participant into sterile 5ml saliva collecting tubes and samples was stored at -80 degree centigrade

Participants will be recalled after 8 weeks, saliva is collected in sterile 5ml collecting tube and stored at -80 degree centigrade and TNF-alpha levels will be determined by ELISA technique All the parametres will be subjected for statistical analysis.
