Abstract
Aim
to assess the effect of periodontal treatment on HbA1c and diagnostic parameters of patients with Metabolic Syndrome (MetS).
Material and Methods
A hundred and fifty-eight patients with MetS, and moderate and severe periodontitis were included. They were randomized into a test group (n=79), which received non-surgical periodontal treatment, and a control group (n=79), which received no treatment. Medical treatment was delivered to both groups. Clinical periodontal, anthropometric, and serological parameters were assessed at baseline, 3 and 6 months. The main outcome was glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) levels, and the secondary outcomes were changes in the MetS parameters, C-reactive protein and HOMA indexes.
Results
Significant reductions in all the periodontal parameters were observed in the test group, compared with the control group, at 3 and 6 months (p<0.001). HbA1c levels, MetS parameters, C-reactive protein and HOMA indexes showed no significant differences between the test group and the control group at 3 and 6 months.
Conclusion(s)
periodontal treatment led to a substantial reduction in periodontal inflammation, although there was no significant effect on the parameters used for MetS diagnosis in patients with early-diagnosed and well-controlled MetS. Registration number NCT02012842, www.clinicaltrials.gov.
