Who may be able to join

  • 1a. Patients enrolled in the PSCV with a diagnosis of type 2 diabetes mellitus and who, in turn, have a glycated hemoglobin ≥ 7% (during the last 6 months).

About this study

The objective of this clinical trial is to evaluate the effect of periodontal treatment on the reduction of glycated hemoglobin levels in adult patients with concurrent type 2 diabetes mellitus and periodontitis.

Non-surgical periodontal treatment and the application of a quality of life survey will be performed and then controls will be carried out for 1 year.

Read the detailed description

The aim of this clinical trial is to evaluate the effect of periodontal treatment on the reduction of HbA1c levels in adult patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus who are users of the Cardiovascular Health Program and also to measure their quality of life by means of a survey OHIP-14sp.

Non-surgical periodontal treatment and subsequent follow-up of periodontal clinical parameters and HbA1c values at 3, 6, 9 and 12 months will be performed.

Being tested
Non-surgical periodontal treatment, glycated hemoglobin measurement and application of OHIP-14SP survey.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Non-surgical periodontal treatment, glycated hemoglobin measurement and application of OHIP-14SP survey.Procedure or surgery

    Non-surgical periodontal treatment will be performed, with periodontal maintenance therapy at 3, 6, 9 and 12 months, with measurement of glycated hemoglobin at each time and application of the OHIP-14SP oral health-related quality of life survey.

Study groups in NCT06895980
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Patients with periodontitis and Diabetes Mellitus type 2ExperimentalThere will be a group of patients to intervene, who present periodontitis and Diabetes Mellitus type 2.
Receives: Procedure: Non-surgical periodontal treatment, glycated hemoglobin measurement and application of OHIP-14SP survey.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. HbA1c (The glycated hemoglobin)

    The glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) is a blood test that measures the average blood glucose level over the past two to three months, expressed as a percentage. It is used to diagnose diabetes and prediabetes, and to monitor diabetes treatment.

    A higher percentage indicates poorer glycemic control. The value will be measured at the beginning of periodontal treatment and during maintenance therapy at 3, 6, 9 and 12 months.

    Measured: 13 months

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Patient self-reported quality of life.

    Use of the OHIP-14 survey questionnaire that assesses people's quality of life in relation to their oral health.

    It is administered through questions that quantify the impact of oral disorders. It is based on 7 dimensions: physical pain, functional limitation, psychological discomfort, physical disability, psychological disability, and social disability.

    Scores range from 0 to 56 and are obtained by summing the ordinal values of the 14 items. Higher scores indicate a worse quality of life, and lower scores indicate a better quality of life.

    The Spanish version has been validated in older adults in Chile. We will apply the survey at the beginning of study and 12 months later.

    Measured: 13 months

  2. Probing deep in periodontal evaluation

    Probing depth is the distance between the gingival margin and the bottom of the periodontal pocket. It is measured in millimeters using a periodontal probe.

    It is measured at six points on each tooth. The probe is inserted parallel to the root surface in the periodontal pocket. It is moved around the gingival margin. In healthy areas, probing depth should not exceed 3 mm. Depths greater than 3.9 mm may indicate periodontal disease. We will administer this assessment at entry into the study and at 3, 6, 9, and 12 months.

    Measured: 13 months

  3. Clinical attachment loss in periodontal evaluation

    Clinical attachment loss is the difference between the position of the gum and the probing depth.

    It is measured at six points on each tooth using a periodontal probe. It is measured in millimeters.

    It is classified according to defined stages:

    Stage 1: 1 to 2 millimeters Stage 2: 2 to 3 millimeters Stages 3 and 4: 5 millimeters or more The assessment is performed at admission, and at 3, 6, 9, and 12 months.

    Measured: 13 months

  4. bleeding of probing in periodontal evaluation

    Bleeding on probing is a clinical parameter that indicates inflammation in the connective tissue of the gums.

    It is performed with a standardized periodontal probe. It is measured at six sites per tooth. It is a dichotomous variable, considered positive if bleeding occurs, or negative if no bleeding occurs.

    A value of less than 10% bleeding from all sites is considered periodontal stability.

    It will be assessed at admission and at 3, 6, 9, and 12 months.

    Measured: 13 months

What does the primary outcome measure?

HbA1c (The glycated hemoglobin) (time frame: 13 months). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT06895980, which also lists 2 linked publications.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?
