Abstract

There is a bidirectional relationship between periodontitis and diabetes mellitus type II, where the treatment of periodontal infection can be considered part of the treatment of diabetes, while glycemic control is a prerequisite for successful periodontal therapy. The inflammatory markers and the subgingival microbiota of periodontitis cases associated with diabetes with blood sugar imbalance of cases of chronic periodontitis were still not differentiated from other diabetics and nondiabetics periodontitis, although they show distinct severity and prognosis. This study aims to test the hypothesis that the subgingival microbiota of diabetic patients with glucose imbalance differs from the microbiota of diabetic patients with glucose balance and non-diabetic controls, reflecting and / or being reflected by the exacerbated inflammatory condition in cases of failure of glucose balance. 30 patients with periodontitis will be selected 10 without diabetes, 10 diabetics with glycemic control and 10 diabetics with poor glycemic control. Patients will undergo medical examinations, blood sampling, clinical periodontal examination and collection of samples of subgingival and gingival fluid. The diversity of the subgingival microbiota will be evaluated by 16SrRNA genomic libraries. Biofilm samples from shallow and deep periodontal sites will be evaluated for levels of recognized periodontal pathogens and selected organisms based on diversity data by RNA-oligonucleotide quantification technique (ROQT). Gingival fluid and serum samples will be analyzed for cytokines and bone resorption mediators. The data will provide evidences of specific markers for periodontitis in diabetic patients and their relation to glucose balance to be tested in further longitudinal studies. (AU)
