title: [The effect of initial therapy on periodontal status and saccharified Hb (HbAIc) of patients with type II diabetes mellitus].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To investigate the effect of periodontal initial therapy on the level of glycated hemoglobin(HbAIc) and periodontal status in non-insulin dependent diabetes mellitus(NIDDM)patients with periodontitis.
  
  
  METHODS
  33 cases with NIDDM periodontitis were included in the study. The periodontal therapy included oral hygiene instruction,ultrasonic scaling and subgingival scaling. The level of glycosylated hemoglobin and periodontal status before treatment and four weeks after treatment were determined and compared.
  
  
  RESULTS
  The percentage of bleeding on probing and probing depth were significantly reduced in all patients after periodontal therapy. The glycosylated hemoglobin level was significantly decreased in patients with advanced periodontitis,while patients with moderate periodontitis showed no changes following therapy.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  The result of periodontal therapy in the diabetic patients was satisfied in short time. It can reduce the level of glycated hemoglobin.
