Periodontal Follow-up and Glycemy in Patients With Type 2 Diabetes

Sponsor: Hospices Civils de Lyon

Summary

Diabetes is a disease in which the majority of these patients have type 2 diabetes, linked to poor use of insulin by the body. Periodontitis is a chronic disease characterized by an immuno-inflammatory reaction with local production of inflammatory mediators (IL6, TNF-alpha, etc.) and contributes to the increase in the systemic inflammatory load with increased levels of C-reactive protein. Periodontitis is frequently found in diabetic patients; it is considered a complication of diabetes. Poor glycemic control in diabetes is associated with poor periodontal health, while periodontal infection is associated with dysglycemia and increased insulin resistance. Periodontal treatment has been shown to reduce HbA1C levels and thus the risk of complications in diabetic patients. The main objective is to evaluate the impact of innovative periodontal monitoring (with reminder systems and reinforcement of advice by SMS) versus standard periodontal monitoring on the glycemic control of diabetic patients treated for periodontitis, 2 years after the start of periodontal monitoring.
