Abstract

Aims and objectives

The aim of this prospective clinical study was to evaluate the response of type 2 diabetics to periodontal surgical therapy and to compare the treatment outcome with that of non-diabetics.

Patients and methods

A total of 20 type 2 diabetic and 20 non-diabetic patients with moderate to advanced periodontal disease were recruited in the study. Patients with probing pocket depth ≥ 5 mm in at least three adjacent teeth and with horizontal bone defects (as confirmed by radiographs) were subjected to periodontal surgery. Changes in clinical parameters such as gingival status, probing pocket depth, clinical attachment level, mobility, and position of the gingiva were evaluated 6 months post-operatively.

Results

Patients in both groups showed significant pocket depth reduction and clinical attachment gain as compared to baseline, however, no differences in the amount of improvement between the groups was seen.

Interpretation and conclusions

Type 2 diabetic patients respond to periodontal surgical procedures in a manner similar to that of non-diabetics provided good glycemic control and optimum oral hygiene are maintained.
