Estimation of Gingival Crevicular Blood as Noninvasive Method to Determine the Blood Glucose Level: A Comparative Study
Conclusion:
In conclusion, the findings of the current study suggest that
blood drawn from the gingival crevicular during a clinical examination
may be a great source for glucometric analysis. The gingival crevicular
blood may show to be a promising technique for routine dental office
screening for diabetes mellitus in periodontal patients, even if
capillary/venous blood samples used for diabetes mellitus screening are
the gold standard.
Clinical significance:
Oral health is crucial for the early detection of many systemic
disorders. As a result, dentists are crucial in the screening for
systemic disorders. One of the prevalent chronic disorders is diabetes.
Any systemic disease that is detected early enough can avoid long-term
problems.
