evaluate the role of prolactin hormone in the pathogenesis of periodontitis by assessing its local gingival levels and assess clinical parameters in patients who have type two diabetes
Full description
Periodontal Examination At baseline, all participants received a full-mouth clinical examination, and the following periodontal parameters will be recorded: Plaque Index (PI) (19), Gingival Index (GI) (20), Pocket Depth (PD), and Clinical Attachment Loss (CAL).
Initial periodontal examination, full mouth scaling and root planning (SRP), clinical measurements before and after treatment, gingival crevicular fluid sampling as well as reinforcement of oral hygiene at baseline and during follow-up evaluations will be performed by the same periodontist (E.A.). Reinforcement of oral hygiene will be done every month for 3 months.
Gingival fluid sampling:
Gingival crevicular fluid (GCF) collection will be done the second day after clinical examination to prevent the contamination of sample with blood associated with the probing of inflamed sites. Samples will be collected from the buccal aspects of two interproximal sites in teeth that had the highest signs of inflammation and attachment loss for periodontitis groups, this will be done before, and 3 months after SRP. For the control group, samples will be collected from the upper first molar.
The samples will be assayed for PRL by using an enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) kits.
Patient's examinations:
Glycosylated Hemoglobin (Hemoglobin A1c) test and Body Mass Index will be measured to all participants.
