Association of periodontal pocket area with type 2 diabetes and obesity: a cross-sectional study.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

The aim was to investigate the relationship of full-mouth inflammatory parameters of periodontal disease with diabetes and obesity.

Research design and methods

This cross-sectional study conducted diabetes-related examinations and calculated periodontal inflamed and epithelial surface area (PISA and PESA) of 71 Japanese patients with type 2 diabetes. Multiple linear regression analyses were performed to evaluate associations between PISA or PESA and diabetes and obesity parameters.

Results

Median value of body mass index (BMI), hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) level, fasting plasma glucose (FPG) level, and visceral fat area (VFA) were 25.7 kg/m², 9.1%, 151 mg/L, and 93.3 cm², respectively. PISA and PESA were significantly associated with HbA1c
