PG - 726-736 LID - 10.1111/jcpe.13291 [doi] AB - BACKGROUND: Periodontitis significantly increases the risk of diabetic complications. This clinical trial investigated the effects of periodontal therapy on cardiac function in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and periodontitis. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Fifty-eight subjects with T2DM and periodontitis were randomly allocated to Treatment Group (n = 29) receiving non-surgical periodontal therapy, and Control Group (n = 29) having only oral hygiene instructions with delayed periodontal treatment until completion of this 6-month study. The left ventricle (LV) diastolic function was assessed by echocardiography with the tissue Doppler imaging index (E/e' ratio); and LV hypertrophy was evaluated by LV mass index (LVMI). Blood samples were collected for biochemical analysis. RESULTS: The intention-to-treat analysis showed that periodontal treatment significantly reduced the E/e' ratio by 1.66 (95% CI: -2.64 to -0.68, p < .01), along with marked improvement of periodontal conditions (p < .05). LVMI was not altered at the 6-month follow-up. The serum levels of N-terminal pro-B type natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) as a cardiac stress biomarker, C-reactive protein and interleukin-6 decreased numerically without reaching statistical significance. CONCLUSION: The present study provides the first evidence that non-surgical periodontal therapy may improve cardiac diastolic function in type 2 diabetic patients with periodontitis.
