Scientific titleEliminating periodontal infection in patients with type 2 diabetes: a single centre non-randomised observational diagnosis and treatment study
Study acronymDRN149 (DDP)
Study objectivesPeriodontal disease is emerging as a recognised complication of diabetes, and epidemiological data support that patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) have increased prevalence and severity of periodontitis. Furthermore, recent preliminary data suggest that diabetes control in patients with periodontitis may be improved following successful periodontal treatment.

In this study, we will perform a full periodontal examination and glycaemic control will be measured (HbA1c) in 160 T2DM individuals aged 30 - 55 years. For those patients who are diagnosed as having periodontal disease (estimated n = 40), we will treat their disease using established periodontal treatment methods to eliminate the periodontal infection. The patients will be monitored for 12 months following treatment and changes in HbA1c at months 3, 6 and 12 following treatment will be measured. We will also measure cytokine and adipokine levels in the gingival crevicular fluid (GCF), saliva and in serum, including interleukin-6 (IL-6) and tumour necrotising factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) in all patients at screening, and before and after treatment in those patients with periodontal disease to understand better the pathogenic processes common to both diseases. 40 controls (non-diabetic patients who have periodontal disease) will also be recruited.

This research will provide fundamental information on associations between periodontal inflammation and glycaemic control and will evaluate the effect of periodontal therapy on glycaemic control in T2DM patients with periodontal disease.
