Objective: This study examines the relationship between periodontal disease indicators and crevicular blood glucose levels (CBGL) to evaluate their clinical significance.
Study Design: This was a cross-sectional study.
Place and Duration of Study: The study was conducted in the Department of Oral Medicine, Saidu College of Dentistry Saidu Sharif Swat, from July 2022 to December 2022.
Materials and Methods: A total of 290 participants were categorized as healthy, having gingivitis, or having periodontitis based on clinical criteria. Periodontal indices, including Plaque Index (PI), Gingival Index (GI), Probing Pocket Depth (PPD), Clinical Attachment Loss (CAL), and Bleeding on Probing (BOP), were measured. CBGL and systemic glucose levels were assessed. Correlation Analysis and ANOVA were used for statistical analysis.
Results: CBGL levels were significantly higher in periodontitis patients (118.6 ± 15.9 mg/dL) compared to those with gingivitis (95.2 ± 12.7 mg/dL) and healthy controls (85.6 ± 10.2 mg/dL) (p < 0.001). Correlation analysis revealed significant positive associations between CBGL and PPD (r = 0.51, p < 0.001), CAL (r = 0.55, p < 0.001), and BOP (r = 0.44, p < 0.001)
Conclusion: This study demonstrates a strong association between periodontal disease severity and elevated CBGL, suggesting that CBGL may serve as a potential screening tool for early glucose dysregulation. Longitudinal studies are recommended to establish causality.
