Özet

In this study, salivary peroxidase activity was measured in a group of 10 patients with insulin-dependent (type I) diabetes mellitus (IDDM) who had a tendency towards periodontitis. In healthy subjects (N:10), mean salivary peroxidase activity was 0.0025+/-0.001 IU/mL, while in this group of type I diabetic patients it was 0.051+/-0.015 IU/ml, a significantly higher level (p<0.001). Approximal plaque index (API), modified sulcus bleeding index (mod SBI) and pocket depths were assessed clinically. The values for mod SBI and API were 60% and 68% respectively for the diabetic patients while for the control group mod SBI was measured 0.0% and the value for API was 10.67% (p<0.001). The administration of this simple and practical test may provide an early marker of a tendency towards periodontitis in IDDM patients.
