Diabetes Mellitus, Periodontitis
Conditions
Brief summary
Aim of the current study was to evaluate Endocan biomarker level in gingival crevicular fluid of patients with stage 1 or 2 (mild to moderate) periodontitis with controlled type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM) and compare it to that in DM free periodontitis patients.

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Endocan level | Day 1 | Endocan level in gingival crevicular samples was assessed by commercially available ELISA kit (Bioneovan Co., Ltd, Elisa Human Endocan/esm-1 ELISA Kit. Beijing, China). Assays were performed according to the manufacturer's instructions. Color change will be measured with a microplate reader (Hellma GmbH & Co. KG. Müllheim, Germany) at 450 nm. Concentrations were determined based on the respective assay standard curve. All samples were run in duplicate and values will be averaged |
| Pocket probing depth (PPD) | Day 1 | PPD was assessed at six different sites (mesio-buccal, mid-buccal, disto-buccal, mesio-lingual, mid-lingual, and disto-lingual) per tooth at all teeth present, except third molars. PPD was assessed using Williams calibrated periodontal probe and recordings were made to the nearest mm; observations close to 0.5 mm were rounded to the upper whole mm. |
| Clinical Attachment Level (CAL) | Day 1 | CAL was assessed at six different sites (mesio-buccal, mid-buccal, disto-buccal, mesio-lingual, mid-lingual, and disto-lingual) per tooth at all teeth present, except third molars. CAL was assessed using Williams calibrated periodontal probe and recordings were made to the nearest mm; observations close to 0.5 mm were rounded to the upper whole mm. |
| Percentage of bleeding on probing sites (BOP%) | Day 1 | BOP% was assessed at six different sites (mesio-buccal, mid-buccal, disto-buccal, mesio-lingual, mid-lingual, and disto-lingual) per tooth at all teeth present, except third molars. BOP% was assessed using Williams calibrated periodontal probe and the number of sites with BOP were divided by the total number of examined sites and multiplied by 100 to calculate the percentage |
