Correlation Of Viral And Bacterial Concentrations In Plaque And Glycemic Status In Patients With Chronic Periodontitis With And Without Type 2 Diabetes Following Phase 1 Therapy - A Clinical, Microbiological And Biochemical Assessment.
Journal Title: International Journal of Dental Science and Innovative Research (IJDSIR) - Year 2019, Vol 2, Issue 2
Abstract
Background & Objectives: With increasing evidences implicating the role of viruses in periodontal disease and diabetes, the present study aimed to assess, compare and correlate the change in clinical periodontal parameters; viral and bacterial pathogen concentrations in plaque and Glycated hemoglobin levels (HbA1c) in patients with chronic periodontitis with and without type 2 diabetes. Method :120 patients with chronic periodontitis (mild to moderate) were divided into two main groups as Group 1 (control n=30 non-diabetic patients) and Group 2(test n= 90 patients with type 2 diabetes) which were further subdivided based on glycemic control. Clinical parameters viz gingival index, plaque index, probing pocket depth & relative attachment level; and HbA1c levels were evaluated at baseline,1 and 4 months following phase -1 therapy, along with microbiological parameters viz bacteria (Pg,Pi,Tf,A.a) and viruses (HSV,EBV,HCMV) in the plaque samples by PCR analysis. Results: Significant improvements in clinical and microbiologic parameters and HbA1c levels (p˂0.05) were observed within all groups with more significant clinical changes in group 1(control) compared to the (test) groups following phase 1 therapy. Viruses were not detected in most of the samples tested. Significant positive correlation of clinical parameters with bacterial counts(p<0.05) but not with the viral counts, and specifically probing depths with HbA1c levels in the diabetic group (p<0.05), were observed. Conclusion: Although phase-1 therapy resulted in enhancement of clinical parameters, glycemic status and reduction in bacterial counts, the role of viruses in periodontal disease seems questionable as the proportion detected was negligible.
