What this Trial Is About
This clinical trial investigates how periodontal treatment affects glycated hemoglobin HbA1c levels in adults with type 2 diabetes and periodontitis. It aims to understand whether treating gum disease can help control blood sugar and improve quality of life in patients enrolled in the Cardiovascular Health Program. Participants will receive non-surgical periodontal treatment followed by maintenance therapy at 3, 6, 9, and 12 months. Alongside treatment, researchers will measure HbA1c levels and collect quality of life data using the OHIP-14SP oral health survey at these same intervals. Throughout the 13-month study, participants will undergo regular periodontal evaluations measuring probing depth, clinical attachment loss, and bleeding on probing. The study will track changes in HbA1c and quality of life to assess treatment impact. Participants can expect periodic clinical assessments and surveys during their involvement.
