Effect of low 1evel laser treatment on metabolic control and high-sensitivity C-reactive protein of type 2 diabetes mellitus combined chronic peridontitis patients / 国际生物医学工程杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective To investigate the effect of low 1evel laser treatment (LLLT) on periodontal clinical index,high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) and metabolic control in patients of type 2 diabetes mellitus combined chronic peridontitis.Methods Nighty patients with type 2 diabetes combined chronic peridontitis were divided into three groups:initial periodontal therapy (group A),initial therapy combined with LLLT (group B) and control group (group C).The periodontal clinical parameters including periodontal probing depth (PD),clinical attachment loss (CAL),sulcus bleeding index (SBI),hs-CRP,HbA1c and fasting blood glucose (FBG) were tested before and at three months after therapy.Results The periodontal clinical parameters (PD,CAL,SBI) and hsCRP in group A and B improved significantly compared with that of group C after therapy (P＜0.05),with group B had more significant difference (P＜0.01).For the levels of HbA1c and FPG,group A and B showed downtrend,and more obvious outcome was detected in group B (P＜0.05).Conclusions LLLT can effectively improve periodontal status,hs-CRP levels and metabolic control of patients with type 2 diabetes combined with chronic peridontitis,and thus to prevent the occurrence of diabetes complications.
