Background: Periodontal infection may contribute to poor glycemic control and systemic inflammation in diabetic patients. The aim of the present study is to evaluate the efficacy of non-surgical periodontal treatment in diabetic patients by measuring oxidative stress outcomes. Methods: Sixty diabetic patients with periodontitis were enrolled, treated with scaling and full-mouth disinfection, and randomly prescribed chlorhexidine mouthwash, antioxidant mouthwash, or ozone therapy. Reactive oxygen metabolites (ROMs), periodontal parameters, and glycated hemoglobin were measured at baseline and then at 1, 3, and 6 months after. Results: At baseline, all patients presented with pathologic levels of plasmatic ROM (388 ± 21.36 U CARR), higher than the normal population. Probing depth, plaque index, and bleeding on probing values showed significant clinical improvements after treatment, accompanied by significant reductions of plasma ROM levels (p < 0.05). At the 6-month evaluation, the mean ROM relapsed to 332 ± 31.76 U CARR. Glycated hemoglobin decreased significantly (∆ = −0.52 units) after treatment. Both the test groups showed longer-lasting improvements of periodontal parameters. Conclusion: In diabetic patients, periodontal treatment was effective at reducing plasma ROM, which is an indicator of systemic oxidative stress and inflammation. The treatment of periodontal infection might facilitate glycemic control and decrease systemic inflammation.

To demonstrate whether reactive oxygen and free radical measuring are appropriate to evaluate short-term surgical stress after laparoscopic colectomy. The subjects consisted of 22 cases (laparoscopic surgery, 16; and laparotomy, 6) that underwent surgery for colon cancer. The reactive oxygen metabolites (ROM) value in the blood were measured perioperatively. The average ROM values immediately prior to surgery, immediately following surgery, and 1 day following surgery were 360.1, 316.0, and 346.7 U.CARR, respectively, meaning that ROM declined immediately following surgery compared with immediately prior to surgery (P &lt; 0.05), while a tendency was observed for these values to increase again 1 day following surgery. In the comparison of pain control 1 day following surgery, a significantly lower value was indicated in the epidural anesthesia group (n = 12) compared with the fentanyl intravenous injection group (n = 10). Moreover, no significant change was observed in the surgical stress level in a comparison of patient background items such as age, sex, and so forth, laparoscopic surgery, and laparotomy. The low-invasiveness of laparoscopic surgery was not indicated in the ROM value 1 day following surgery, probably because pain control offsets the level of surgical stress using this method.
