YANG, Shanghai Second Medical University, China, and L.J. JIN, University of Hong Kong, Hong Kong  Diabetes mellitus (DM) is an established risk factor for periodontal diseases. Previous studies in Caucasians showed that DM patients with poor glycemic control had a less favorable response to periodontal therapy compared to those with good glycemic control and non-DM patients. Whereas similar study is limited in Chinese DM subjects. Objectives: To determine the therapeutic effect of non-surgical periodontal treatment on diabetic Chinese with chronic periodontitis and to examine whether various levels of blood glucose affect short-term healing response to the treatment. Methods: The participants were 36 subjects aged 35-65 yrs with type II DM and untreated moderate to advanced chronic periodontitis (CP), consisting of 20 cases with high and fluctuating blood glucose levels (DM-H) and 16 cases with relatively low and stable blood glucose levels (DM-L). 28 clinically-matched non-DM CP patients aged 35-65 yrs were recruited as controls (Non-DM). Plaque index, gingival index, bleeding on probing, probing depth and clinical attachment loss were recorded for all subjects at 6 sites on each tooth at the baseline and 1, 3 and 6 months after oral hygiene instruction (OHI), scaling and root planing. Results: It was found that the short-term non-surgical periodontal treatment resulted in significant resolution of gingival inflammation and pronounced reduction in probing depth and gain of attachment in both DM and Non-DM CP patients. No statistically significant difference was found in periodontal treatment responses observed over the 6-month period of observation between the DM-H and DM-L patients. Conclusions: This study suggested that non-surgical periodontal therapy resulted in favorable short-term treatment responses in a group of Chinese diabetic subjects with chronic periodontitis and that their various profiles of blood glucose levels did not affect the initial healing response to OHI, scaling and root planing.
