Evaluating the association between gingival crevicular blood glucose levels and finger capillary blood glucose levels according to periodontal status

ConclusionThe study observed a positive association between GCBG and FCBG. However, the relationship with periodontal status appeared to be relatively weak. Further research may be needed to determine the potential efficacy of GCBG in diabetes screening during periodontal examinations. Clinical relevance: Most patients with diabetes do not have proper periodontal health, so it may be helpful to screen for diabetes during periodontal examinations.
