About
non-surgical periodontal debridement was performed for diabetic patients with chronic periodontitis as well as for non-diabetic patients but also with chronic periodontitis. Serum resistin level was assessed in the two groups before and after periodontal therapy and also was compared to a healthy control group.
Full description
Background: Resisitin is a recognized marker for chronic inflammatory conditions that could be directly linked with type 2 diabetes mellitus. The aim of this study was to assess serum resistin level in type 2 diabetic patients with chronic periodontitis.
Methods: Forty individuals were recruited in this study and were divided into three groups, diabetic group consisted of 15 diabetic patients (type 2 diabetes mellitus) with moderate to severe chronic periodontitis, non-diabetic group consisted of 15 non-diabetic patients with moderate to severe chronic periodontitis and healthy group consisted of 10 non-diabetic individuals with healthy periodontium. Non-surgical periodontal therapy with supra and subgingival debridement was performed for the diabetic and non-diabetic groups. Pocket depth, clinical attachment level, plaque index, gingival index, serum Resistin and high sensitivity C-Reactive Protein assay were recorded for both groups before and after treatment, while HbA1c was recorded for the diabetic group.
