Abstract:
Objective To evaluate the effectiveness of periodontal mechanical therapy on periodontal health and interleukin-6 (IL-6) levels in gingival crevicular fluid (GCF) in type 2 diabetic patients with chronic periodontitis. Methods GCF samples were obtained with filter papers in first molar sites from 37 type 2 diabetic patients with chronic periodontitis. The randomized controlled and blinded clinical trial with a duration of six months was designed to compare effects between three groups of professional mechanical tooth cleaning (PMTC), i.e. coronal scaling (group Ⅱ) with periodontal initial therapy (group Ⅰ) and without clinical therapy (control group). The clinical periodontal index such as probing depth (PD), attachment loss (AL), modified bleeding index (mBI) and bacteria plaque index (PLI) were obtained with a Williams type periodontal probe. Laboratory examination including GCF volume, concentrations and total amounts of IL-6 in GCF were detected with ELISA method. Results Significantly decreasing trends of PD, AL, mBI, GCF volume and total amounts of IL-6 were observed in group Ⅰin all test period. The group Ⅱ had a significant reduction of PD at the third month as compared with baseline (⊿=0.36 mm, P＜0.05), and the other figures showed descending trends but didn′t present statistical significances. At the end of study, the group Ⅰand Ⅱ had significant reductions of GCF volume compared with increases of control group (0.96 μ1＞0.03 μ1mm＞-0.20 μ1, P＜0.05). Conclusions The sequential periodontal supra- and sub- gingival scaling has definitive effects on periodontal health improvement and on reducing the IL-6 level in GCF in type 2 diabetic patients.
