What this Trial Is About
Evaluate from a clinical and microbiological point of view the effect of an adjunctive therapy based on a thermal-gelling device Pocket-X® Gel (Hyaluronic acid, Poloxamer, 2-Phenoxyethanol, Octedine HCL, Water), in the non-surgical treatment of periodontal defects, in a population of patients with T2DM compared to non-diabetic patients. Determine whether periodontal defect healing is clinically and microbiologically different between T2DM patients and non-diabetic patients; whether periodontal treatment and maintenance can lead to improvement of conditions and stability over time also for diabetic conditions.
