Description
Summary:BackgroundDiabetes has increased the risk for various other ailments in various organs of the body. This can be contributing to periodontitis also as it is the sixth complication related to diabetes mellitus. There is a bidirectional relationship between both. Given the high global prevalence of type-2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) with periodontitis, it is of great importance to determine the link between periodontitis and microalbuminuria in T2DM patients, which shows early renal disease.MethodologyIn the present study, a total of 500 patients having T2DM were assessed for periodontitis using Community Periodontal Index (CPI). Anthropometric and biochemical measurements were obtained. Blood samples were estimated for glycemic control tests such as fasting plasma glucose (FPG), glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c), and lipid profile. The subjects who participated in the study were categorized into three groups depending on the albuminuria level. The data were tabulated and analyzed using SPSS Statistics software (IBM Corp., Armonk, USA).ResultsOut of 500 T2DM subjects, 342 subjects had periodontitis. A statistically significant difference was found in FPG, HbA1c, total cholesterol (TC), triglycerides, and low-density lipoprotein (LDL) between subjects with periodontitis and without periodontitis using a t-test (p =
