Oral health plays an important role for screening of many systemic diseases. Hence, dentists play an important role in screening for systemic diseases as well. Early diagnosis of any systemic diseases can prevent long-term complications. Diabetic is one of the common chronic diseases. Hence, the study had been undertaken to evaluate whether gingival crevicular blood (GCB) can be used to screen for diabetes during routine oral health checkups.
This analytical study included thirty participants who visited the Department of Periodontics, who fulfilled inclusion criteria and were willing to participate. Blood samples were collected by finger stick method and periodontal probing. The glucose levels of both the samples were estimated using glucometer and correlated the levels from both the methods.
Correlation between capillary finger stick blood glucose and GCB glucose was high (0.97) and was significant at 0.01 level.
Blood oozing during routine periodontal examination can be used for diabetes mellitus screening in dental office.
口腔健康在许多全身性疾病的筛查中起着重要作用。因此,牙医在全身性疾病的筛查中也发挥着重要作用。任何全身性疾病的早期诊断都可以预防长期并发症。糖尿病是常见的慢性病之一。因此,本研究旨在评估在常规口腔健康检查中,龈沟血(GCB)是否可用于筛查糖尿病。
本分析研究纳入了30名前来牙周病科就诊、符合纳入标准且愿意参与的参与者。通过手指采血法和牙周探诊采集血样。使用血糖仪测定两种样本的葡萄糖水平,并对两种方法测得的水平进行相关性分析。
指尖毛细血管血糖与龈沟血葡萄糖之间的相关性较高(0.97),在0.01水平上具有显著性。
常规牙周检查时渗出的血液可用于牙科诊所的糖尿病筛查。
