Effect of Arestin-Enhanced SRP on Periodontal and Glycemic Outcomes in Diabetics

Summary

Periodontitis is a prevalent chronic inflammatory disease that exacerbates systemic inflammation and poses challenges for glycemic control in diabetic patients. While scaling and root planing (SRP) remains the cornerstone of periodontal therapy, adjunctive treatments such as Arestin (minocycline microspheres) have shown promise in enhancing clinical outcomes. This study aims to evaluate the impact of adding Arestin to SRP on periodontal pocket closure, glycemic control, and systemic inflammation in diabetic patients with periodontitis.
