This study aimed to investigate the effects of diode laser (DL) in addition to non-surgical periodontal treatment on periodontal parameters, systemic inflammatory response, and serum hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) level in patients with uncontrolled type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and chronic periodontitis.
This study was designed as a randomized, controlled, full-mouth, 6-month clinical trial. 37 patients (20 women and 17 men) with uncontrolled T2DM and chronic periodontitis who were selected from among those admitting to Dentistry Faculty of Inonu University and Turgut Ozal Medical Center completed this study. The patients were divided into two groups. The individuals in the control group underwent placebo laser treatment in addition to scaling and root planing (SRP). The individuals in the study group underwent DL (1 W power) in addition to SRP. Clinical index measurements were performed before treatment (T0), 3 months after treatment (T1), and 6 months after treatment (T2). Plaque index (PI), gingival index (GI), bleeding on probing (BOP), clinical attachment level (CAL), and probing depth (PD) were measured to determine periodontal status. HbA1c and C-reactive protein (CRP) levels were also analyzed using blood samples.
