COMPARATIVE EVALUATION OF NEUTROPHIL-LYMPHOCYTE RATIO IN CHRONIC PERIODONTITIS PATIENTS WITH TYPE 2 DIABETES MELLITUS BEFORE AND AFTER NON-SURGICAL PERIODONTAL THERAPY (NSPT)

Background: The neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) acts as an indicator of subclinical inflammation. Inflammatory marker NLR significantly increases in prediabetic and diabetic patients. Periodontal therapy can contribute to diabetes control patients with periodontitis. Aims Objectives: aim this study is evaluate Neutrophil Lymphocyte type 2 mellitus before after Non-surgical periodontal therapy. Materials Methods: A cross-sectional prospective was carried a sample size 90 having Type Diabetes Mellitus. Venous blood samples were collected from each patient at baseline 1 month delivering NSPT. assessed comparatively evaluated treatment. Results: There are significant differences values one post non-surgical (p = 0.004). Mean higher (2.07 ± 0.55) compared mean 1.37 ±0.46 Conclusion: reduces the NSPT may augment
