乌梅代茶饮干预2型糖尿病合并牙周炎的研究

Objective To explore the intervention effect of smoked plum tea on saliva flow rate, periodontal health indicators, blood sugar control, and inflammation level in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus(T2 DM) with periodontitis. Methods This study is a randomized controlled trial. 60 patients with T2 DM and mild to moderate periodontitis were included and randomized into intervention group and control group. The control group only received routine treatment, while the intervention group drank smoked plum tea daily for 3 months on the basis of routine treatment. The saliva flow rate, gingival index(GI), plaque index(PLI), probing depth(PD), fasting blood glucose(FPG), 2-hour postprandial blood glucose(2 hPG), glycated hemoglobin(HbA1c), and high-sensitivity C-reactive protein(hs-CRP) levels between two groups before and after intervention were compared. Results After the intervention, the saliva flow rate increased and periodontal health indicators in the intervention group decreased, and the improvement in the intervention group was significantly better than that in the control group(P<0.05). The FPG and 2 hPG of the intervention group and the control group both decreased, but there was no significant difference(P>0.05). The FPG and 2 hPG of the intervention group were lower than those of the control group; there was no statistically significant difference(P>0.05). HbA1c and hs-CRP were significantly lower than those of the control group(P<0.05). Conclusion Smoked plum tea can improve saliva flow rate, periodontal health indicators, blood glucose control, and inflammation levels in T2 DM patients with periodontitis, providing a safe and convenient adjuvant treatment plan.
