| Abstract | ||||
| Purpose: This study aimed to evaluate if glutathione could be used as a diagnostic biomarker in diabetic patients with stage 1, stage 2, stage 3, and stage 4 periodontitis who were receiving non-surgical periodontal therapy. Material and methods: Twentyeight participants were included, who were separated into four groups, each with seven members. Seven diabetic patients with stage 1 periodontitis were assigned to Group 1, seven diabetic patients with stage 2 periodontitis were assigned to Group 2, and seven diabetic patients with stage 3 periodontitis were assigned to Group 3 and Seven diabetic patients with stage 4 periodontitis were assigned to Group 4. Gingival crevicular fluid (GCF) samples were taken from every individual at baseline (before non-surgical periodontal therapy) and one month after non-surgical periodontal therapy was completed. Results: Glutathione levels in the four groups dramatically improved after non-surgical therapy. Conclusion: Glutathione levels should be considered important indicator for prognosis of the periodontal treatment in patients with periodontal disease. | ||||
