Journal Title: International Journal of Dental Science and Innovative Research (IJDSIR) - Year 2019, Vol 2, Issue 3
Abstract
Objective: The present study was intended to identify the relationship between periodontitis and the glycaemic control in non-diabetic individuals by comparing the HbA1c levels in periodontitis patients and non-periodontitis individuals who have not been diagnosed as diabetic. Materials and methods: A cross-sectional observational study with a total of 90 subjects has been designed. The subjects recruited for the study were divided equally into two groups (Cases=45 & controls=45). The case group contained subjects without diabetes but with chronic periodontitis and the control group included individuals without diabetes and periodontitis. HbA1c levels have been estimated on both the groups by D-10 high performance liquid chromatography method and the values were compared by using independent t-test. Results: The result had shown a statistically significant higher mean HbA1c level in the case group when compared with the healthy controls (p-value = 0.02). Conclusion: The result suggests that there is a relationship between periodontitis and glycemic control in non-diabetic individuals.
