Effect of Periodontal Treatment on Metabolic Control in Patients with Type-2 Diabetes Mellitus Treated in the Cardiovascular Healt Program
The objective of this clinical trial is to evaluate the effect of periodontal treatment on the reduction of glycated hemoglobin levels in adult patients with concurrent type 2 diabetes mellitus and periodontitis. Non-surgical periodontal treatment and the application of a quality of life survey will be performed and then controls will be carried out for 1 year.
• 1a. Patients enrolled in the PSCV with a diagnosis of type 2 diabetes mellitus and who, in turn, have a glycated hemoglobin ≥ 7% (during the last 6 months).
• 1b. Patients with a diagnosis of periodontitis (≥ 2 non-adjacent teeth with detectable clinical interproximal attachment loss or, attachment loss ≥ 3mm with depth to probing ≥ 3mm on free faces of ≥ 2 teeth, where the attachment loss was not attributed to non-periodontal causes (Papapanou et al., 2018)).
