Prevalence of periodontal pathogens with varying metabolic control of diabetes mellitus

Abstract: The purpose of this study was to determine the prevalence of 5 periodontal pathogens in individuals with diabetes mellitus. Subjects (n = 107) 20-70 years of age with type 1 (n = 60) or 2 (n = 47) diabetes mellitus were studied for the occurrence of the periodontal pathogens A. actinomycetemcomitans, F. nucleatum, E. corrodens, P. gingivalis and P. intermedia. Subgingival plaque was sampled in each subject from a single site exhibiting the greatest inflammation. The evaluation of selected periodontal bacterial… Show more

“…All these biologically deleterious events taking place simultaneously may throw some light on the combined effect of diabetes and smoking on PPD and CAL found in our study. Furthermore, smoking creates a favorable environment for the growth of periodontal microbes in shallow periodontal pockets (21) but such phenomenon is not seen in patients with diabetes alone (22). Thus, results obtained can be justified to some extent by changes in the number and composition of periodontal pathogens.…”

“…2,11 Differences among studies may be explained by the metabolic control used. 12,13 Scaling and root planing (SRP) therapy, in combination (or not) with antimicrobial agents, might be effective in reducing periodontal pathogens in persons with DM, 14,15 although others have reported that SRP alone may not be capable of eliminating or reducing Tannerella forsythia and Porphyromonas gingivalis in those individuals. 4,8,16,17,18 In general, a reduced level of those pathogens is crucial for a good response to therapy.…”
