[Effect of non-surgical periodontal treatment on blood inflammatory parameters, glucose and lipid metabolism in patients with periodontitis and type 2 diabetes mellitus].

Non-surgical periodontal treatment (NSPT) is the most essential part of periodontal treatment. Most patients with periodontitis and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) can achieve a satisfying outcome by NSPT. For these patients, NSPT can not only improve clinical periodontal parameters significantly and decrease the serum inflammatory status,but also improve glucose and lipid metabolism to some extent. Thus, NSPT is of great significance in preventing or retarding the progress of T2DM or even its complications. However, the special general condition of T2DM makes NSPT effects on periodontitis patients partially differ from those without systemic diseases. Therefore, the special characteristic led by T2DM should be taken into account in the decision and implementation of treatment plans for periodontitis patients. This paper will review the above issues mainly based on the studies of our research group.
