abstract

background: for decades, it was suspected that diabetes contributed to poorer oral health and the increased frequency of periodontitis. more recently it was found that periodontitis could adversely affect glycemic control in diabetics. the aim of this study was to compare periodontal parameters with the metabolic sugar levels of diabetic and non-diabetic individuals. materials and methods: in this cross-sectional study the experimental group were individuals with the diagnosis of diabetes. the control group consisted of healthy individuals without any systemic condition that affected periodontal status. periodontal parameters, body mass index, hba1c level and duration of diabetes were measured and recorded. data were analyzed using pearson’s correlation coefficient and spearman’s correlation coefficient in a bivariate normal distribution. results: patients with diabetes had worse periodontal status compared with control group. on the other hand, both patients with diabetes type 1 and 2 showed higher plaque index, bleeding index and clinical attachment loss compared with healthy control group. there was no meaningful relation between hba1c and periodontal indices. in type 2 diabetic individuals, there was a significant correlation between the number of missing teeth and the duration of their illness. conclusions: based on the evaluated parameters in this study, the experimental groups, (type 1 and 2 diabetics), experienced worse conditions than healthy control individuals with respect to their periodontal status. deterioration of periodontal status is directly related to diabetes progression.

a comparison of teachers and supervisors, with respect to teacher efficacy and reflection

supervisors play an undeniable role in training teachers, before starting their professional experience by preparing them, at the initial years of their teaching by checking their work within the proper framework, and later on during their teaching by assessing their progress. but surprisingly, exploring their attributes, professional demands, and qualifications has remained a neglected theme i...

C - Reactive Protein Levels in Patients with Periodontal Disease and Normal Subjects

Although periodontitis is a chronic inflammatory disease but some factors of acute inflammation phase are involved in this disease among which is the C-Reactive protein (CRP). To minimize its effects, anti-inflammatory drugs or non-pharmacological approaches such as oral hygiene is recommended. CRP can also be used for the prediction and early detection of periodontal disease. The aim of the pr...

Serum Levels of Interleukin 17 in Patients with Pemphigus and Healthy Subjects

Introduction: Pemphigus is a relatively rare autoimmune bullous disease involving skin and mucous epithelia. The disease occurs as a result of production of auto-antibodies against inter-cellular epithelia especially cadherin and desmoglein. Interleukin 17 (IL-17) is one of the specific cytokines of T helper. IL-17 plays an important role in delayed type reaction and recruits neutrophils and mo...
