Avaliação de diferentes modalidades de tratamentos em pacientes com diabetes mellitus tipo 2 e doença periodonal

Abstract

Type 2 diabetes (DM2) and periodontal disease are closely related. DM2 is a risk factor for periodontal disease whereas periodontitis increases hyperglicemia. Although it is known that the treatment of periodontitis improves glycemic control, there is no consensus of what type of treatment is best for diabetics. Objective: Evaluate different types of periodontal treatment in diabetics. Methodology: Two different researches were performed: 40 patients, aged 30 to 60, who were divided into 2 groups: group 1: controlled mechanical + basic periodontal treatment, Group 2: controlled mechanical + basic periodontal treatment + Doxycycline 100 mg orally for 14 days. In the first study, the analyses were made after 0, 3 and 6 months, including probing depth, level of clinical attachment, bleeding on probing. Glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c), fasting glucose and microbiological analysis (FG) were also taken. In study 2, a clinical analysis and an expression of isoforms of interleukin IL1β (IL-1β) test was performed. 20 patients were selected for the second part of the research. They were divided as follow: 1) Conventional periodontal treatment with scaling and root planning + Mechanical control and group 2) Periodontal Treatment (one-stage full-mouth disinfection) + Mechanical control . In this research, the analysis was performed after 0, 3 and 6 months including clinical evaluation, HbA1c and FG tests. The expression of isoforms of interleukin IL1β (IL-1β) were analyzed in the beginning of the study and after 6 months. Results: In the first article, it was shown an improvement in all clinical periodontal parameters evaluated as well as the level of HbA1c in both treated groups after 6 months. In the doxycycline group, there was a greater improvement in gingival index and test of glycated hemoglobin, as well as a smaller amount of Gram- .The second study showed a significant decrease in the expression of IL1- in gingival crevicular fluid in patients in treatment with Doxycycline. In the second research, after 6 months, it was observed better levels of FG, clinical periodontal parameters and gingival crevicular fluid in both groups. Nevertheless, no statistical significance was observed in the expression of IL-1β after 180 days. Conclusion: It is suggested that the basic periodontal therapy associated with the use of doxycycline is more efficient for clinical, glycemic and microbiological control in patients with type 2 Diabetes Mellitus with periodontal disease, as well as in the reduction of IL1- in gingival crevicular fluid. When different types of periodontal treatments are compared, it is possible to observe that the conventional periodontal treatment is the first choice in one-stage full-mouth disinfection for both glycemic control and periodontal parameters related to bleeding on probing and gingival crevicular fluid as well as the relation of variation envolving the expression of IL1-β even in the absence of significant difference among initial and final parameters in each group
