Effect of Periodontal Treatment on Adipokine Levels

The present study aimed to determine the effect of non-surgical periodontal treatment (NSPT) on serum and salivary adipokine and interleukin (IL)-1β levels in periodontitis patients with or without type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM). A total of 80 patients; 20 healthy, 20 T2DM with periodontitis (P), 20 T2DM periodontally healthy, 20 systemically healthy with P were included in this study. At baseline, serum and saliva samples were collected and the whole mouth clinical periodontal parameters were recorded. Periodontitis patients received NSPT in 4 sessions. Clinical parameters were re-measured and samples were re-collected at 1 and 3 months after treatment. Serum and salivary levels of adipokines and IL-1β were analyzed using a flow cytometry-based technique of Lumina® map™. Data were analyzed using appropriate statistical tests.
