Brief summary

The aim of this study is to determine the concentrations of Visfatin, Fetuin-A and Sirtuin 1 in the gingival crevicular fluid and clinical periodontal parameters in diabetic and systemically healthy individuals and to determine whether non-surgical periodontal treatment had any effect on these biomarkers and periodontal clinical parameters at the end of a 3-month follow-up period. The hypothesis of our study is that gingival crevicular fluid Visfatin, Fetuin-A and Sirtuin 1 concentrations will change with non-surgical periodontal treatment in type 2 diabetic and systemically healthy individuals and that this change will be associated with diabetes and clinical parameters.

Detailed description

Sixty-six patients were divided into six equal groups; group 1: systemically and periodontally healthy individuals, group 2: systemically healthy individuals with periodontitis, group 3: controlled type 2 diabetes and periodontally healthy individuals, group 4: controlled type 2 diabetes and periodontitis, group 5: uncontrolled type 2 diabetes and periodontally healthy individuals, group 6: uncontrolled type 2 diabetes and periodontitis. The study was planned as a randomized, single-blind, parallel design. Periodontal clinical parameters (Silness-Löe plaque index, Löe-Silness gingival index, probing pocket depth, clinical attachment level, bleeding on probing) were recorded clinically and concentrations of visfatin, fetuin-A and sirtuin 1 in gingival crevicular fluid were assessed biochemically. After baseline examinations, periodontal treatment was completed using a nonsurgical periodontal treatment protocol completed in 24 hours. Periodontal clinical parameters and gingival crevicular fluid were recorded at baseline and 3 months after periodontal treatment. Biochemical analysis and statistical evaluation were performed.

Interventions

Prior to GCF (gingival crevicular fluid) sampling, supragingival plaque was removed by sterile curets and, after air drying, the surfaces were isolated by cotton rolls. Gingival fluid collection strips were placed in sulcus for 30s. Care was taken not to avoid mechanical trauma and strips contaminated with blood or saliva were discarded. The absorbed GCF volume was estimated by a calibrated instrument. Then, the strips were sealed into sterile tubes before freezing at -80 °C. The readings were converted to an actual volume (μl) by reference to the standard curve.

PROCEDURENon-surgical periodontal treatment completed in 24 hours

After clinical periodontal parameters were recorded and GCF samples were obtained, non-surgical periodontal treatment was started under local anesthesia. All periodontal treatments were performed by a single investigator. Local infiltrative anesthesia was applied to the buccal and palatal/lingual areas of the maxilla and mandible of the patients. After anesthesia was achieved, scaler and ultrasonic tips of various thicknesses were used together to remove supragingival and subgingival hard attachments. Root surface smoothing was performed with region-specific periodontal curettes. The roughness of the surfaces was controlled using a periodontal probe. Polishing was performed. Oral hygiene education was given to each patient after treatment. Modified Bass technique was explained as a brushing technique. Interdental cleaning is explained. The patient was told not to use any chemical agent for plaque removal.

DIAGNOSTIC_TESTHbA1c level determination in blood serum

Blood samples were taken from the patients and HbA1c concentration was measured in serum.

Intervention model description

Sixty-six patients were randomly divided into six equal groups; group 1: systemically and periodontally healthy individuals, group 2: systemically healthy individuals with periodontitis, group 3: controlled type 2 diabetes and periodontally healthy individuals, group 4: controlled type 2 diabetes and periodontitis, group 5: uncontrolled type 2 diabetes and periodontally healthy individuals, group 6: uncontrolled type 2 diabetes and periodontitis. The study was planned as a randomized, single-blind, parallel design. Periodontal indexes were recorded clinically and the concentrations of visfatin, fetuin-A and sirtuin 1 in gingival crevicular fluid were assessed biochemically. After baseline examinations \[Silness-Löe plaque index (PI), Löe-Silness gingival index (GI), probing pocket depth (PPD), clinical attachment level (CAL), bleeding on probing (BOP)\], initial periodontal treatment was completed using a full-mouth treatment protocol. Data were collected at baseline and at 3 months.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Plaque index (PI)Baseline to 3 months after treatmentPI was increased in all periodontitis patients with or without type 2 diabetes. Type 2 diabetes has no effect on PI in periodontitis patients. PI was reduced after non-surgical periodontal treatment (NSPT).
Gingival index (GI)Baseline to 3 months after treatmentGI was increased in all periodontitis patients with or without type 2 diabetes. Type 2 diabetes has no effect on GI in periodontitis patients. GI was reduced after NSPT.
Bleeding on probing index (BPI)Baseline to 3 months after treatmentBPI was increased in all periodontitis patients with or without type 2 diabetes. Type 2 diabetes has no effect on BPI in periodontitis patients. BPI was reduced after NSPT.
Probable pocket depth (PPD)Baseline to 3 months after treatmentPPD was increased in all periodontitis patients with or without type 2 diabetes. Type 2 diabetes has no effect on PPD in periodontitis patients. PPD was reduced after NSPT.
Clinical attachment level (CAL)Baseline to 3 months after treatmentCAL was increased in all periodontitis patients with or without type 2 diabetes. Type 2 diabetes has no effect on CAL in periodontitis patients. CAL was reduced after NSPT.
HbA1c level in blood plasmaBaseline to 3 months after treatmentNSPT reduced HbA1c levels of patients with type 2 diabetes.
Gingival crevicular fluid (GCF) quantityBaseline to 3 months after treatmentThe amount of gingival crevicular fluid was not affected by periodontal status in patients with Type 2 diabetes.
Visfatin concentration in GCFBaseline to 3 months after treatmentVisfatin concentrations in GCF were increased in all periodontitis patients. In periodontal healthy patients with Type 2 diabetes visfatin concentrations in GCF were increased. Non-surgical periodontal treatment decreased the concentration of visfatin in GCF.
Fetuin-A concentration in GCFBaseline to 3 months after treatmentFetuin-A concentrations in GCF were decreased in all periodontitis patients. In periodontal healthy patients with Type 2 diabetes fetuin-A concentrations in GCF were increased. Non-surgical periodontal treatment increased the concentration of fetuin-A in GCF.
Sirtuin 1 concentration in GCFBaseline to 3 months after treatmentIn systemic healthy individuals, periodontitis decreased the concentration of sirtuin 1 in GCF. Type 2 diabetes increased sirtuin 1 concentration in GCF. In controlled type 2 diabetes patients with periodontitis sirtuin 1 concentrations in GCF were increased. In uncontrolled type 2 diabetes patients with periodontitis sirtuin 1 concentrations in GCF were decreased. Non-surgical periodontal treatment increased the concentration of sirtuin 1 in GCF.
