Objectives: The purpose of this study was to analyse The Effect of Periodontal Therapy on Serum C-Reactive Protein & HbA1c Levels in Chronic Periodontitis Patients with or without type 2 diabetes melitus : A Clinico Biochemical Study
Study Design: A cohort of thirty subjects, 15 with diabetes and moderate to severe periodontitis & 15 without diabetes and moderate to severe periodontitis were recruited. Periodontal parameters were measured, and blood samples were obtained to evaluate C-reactive protein. Group 1 & 2 were treated with periodontal therapy.
Results:Levels of Serum C-Reactive Protein were highest in chronic Periodontitis and T2DM group. Periodontal clinical parameters PI, GI, PPD, CAL were recorded higher in chronic periodontitis and T2DM group when compared to when healthy participants who have chronic periodontitis. A statistically significant correlation between parameters such as HbA1c, PI, GI, PPD, CAL and CRP was seen.
Conclusions:The results showed a decrease in the levels of C-Reactive & HbA1c after periodontal therapy
