Abstract
OBJECTIVE
The aim of the present study was to investigate the oral manifestations and salivary composition in type 2 diabetics with periodontitis and to evaluate their association with CA6 gene polymorphism rs2274327.
METHODS
Oral examination was performed by a single periodontist for 300 type 2 diabetics. Whole unstimulated saliva and blood were collected. The salivary pH, buffer capacity and flow rate were later measured. Immunoglobulin A and electrolytes were assessed using an autoanalyzer. CA6 gene polymorphism rs2274327 was screened by PCR-RFLP assay. The statistical analysis was performed using the SPSS 20.0 version.
RESULTS
The salivary pH, buffer capacity and flow rate were significantly lower in the patients carrying TT genotype compared to CC and CT genotype carriers (p < .05). Furthermore, the DMFT index, OHI-s, PI, PPD and CAL were significantly higher in the subjects with TT genotype (p < .05). Carrying at least one T allele seemed to increase the risk of dental caries (OR = 2.59, p < .001), xerostomia (OR = 2.11, p=.003) and taste impairment (OR = 1.97, p < .05).
CONCLUSION
CA6 gene polymorphism rs2274327 seemed to increase the risk of developing, dental caries, periodontitis, xerostomia and taste impairment in type 2 diabetics.
