Effect of supragingival periodontal therapy on microbiological parameters in patients with type 2 diabetes

The other clinical parameters improved significantly in both treatments. Regarding the microbiological data in the shallow sites, the groups are different for the measurement of A. actinomycetemcomitans and P. gingivalis in the evaluation of 6 months. However, when comparing the differences (end log inicial log), there was no significant decrease between groups for any of the bacteria. With respect to reducing the number of bacteria in each of the treatments, there was a significant decrease in T. forsythia for IPT. In the deep sites, the groups are different for the measurement of A. actinomycetemcomitans at baseline. However, when comparing the differences (end log inicial log), there was no significant decrease between groups for any of the bacteria evaluated. There was also no significant decrease in the number of bacteria after 6 months in each treatment.
