Effect of Intensive Hypoglycemic Therapy in the Patients with Type 2 Diabetes Complicated with Periodon-titis / 中国药师

ABSTRACT

Objective:To investigate the effect of intensive hypoglycemic therapy on the frequency of recurrent periodontitis in the patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus. Methods: Totally 40 patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus and recurrent periodontal disease were randomly divided into group A and group B. Group A was treated with the periodontal basic therapy combined with the convention-al hypoglycemic therapy. Group B was treated with the periodontal basic therapy combined with the intensive hypoglycemic therapy. Af-ter 6-month treatment,the change of the probing depth of the periodontal pocket, sulcus bleeding index, incidence frequency, recovery course, body mass index, fasting blood glucose, glycosylated hemoglobin and serum C-reactive protein levels were measured before and after treatment. Results:After the treatment, the indices were improved in group A except body mass index and fasting blood glucose (P<0. 05), and in group B, the indices were improved except body mass index (P<0. 05), and the probing depth of the periodontal pocket, sulcus bleeding index, incidence frequency, body mass index, serum C-reactive protein levels, glycosylated hemoglobin and fasting blood glucose of the patients in group B were all better than those in group A (P<0. 05). Conclusion:Periodontal basic thera-py combined with intensive hypoglycemic therapy can effectively improve the periodontal health of diabetic patients, shorten the recov-ery treatment of periodontal disease, reduce the incidence frequency, and reduce blood glucose as well.
