Correlation between salivary HBD-2 and LL-37 expression levels with blood glucose and periodontal status in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

To examine the correlation between salivary human β defensin-2 (HBD-2) and LL-37 expression levels and blood glucose in relationship to periodontal status in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM).

Methods

The trial is available at: https://clinicaltrials.gov/ with ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT03512675. A total of 89 patients with T2DM with chronic periodontitis (CP) enrolled in our hospital from January 2020 to December 2020 were selected. According to the degree of glycemic control and CP, the patients were randomly divided into four groups, namely the good glycemic control and mild CP group (n=26), good glycemic control with moderate to severe CP group (n=24), poor glycemic control with mild CP group (n=21), and poor glycemic control with moderate to
