A study on salivary ph changes in diabetes mellitus of varied origin and control levels
Journal Title: MedPulse -International Medical Journal - Year 2016, Vol 3, Issue 8
Abstract
Aim and Objective: to perform a comparative study of salivary ph among newly diagnosed, well controlled and poorly controlled diabetes mellitus patients. Materials and Methods: the study was conducted in research lab of department of physiology on total 150 individuals in three groups of 50 male subjects each of 45 to 55 years of age, weighing 50 to 70 kgs. pH and buffer capacity measurement pH of saliva samples was determined using a pH meter (Hana Italy). To estimate Glycosylated Hb levels 5 ml of whole blood was collected and HbA1c kits were used (i- CHROMATM HbA1c, Republic of Korea). All the values were recorded and comparison tables were derived after statistical analysis by paired t test using SPSS 23 version and the results were analyzed. Results: The pH values and the HbA1c levels recorded were compared among the three study groups. In the present study the mean HbA1c values of uncontrolled diabetics were significantly higher than other two groups. Student paired t-test showed a significant difference in pH values between the three groups, with significantly lower pH values in the uncontrolled diabetic group (P<0.001)
