The patients were classified into 3 groups: nondiabetics, non-insulin dependent diabetic patients & insulin-dependent diabetic patients. all had the same degree of gingival inflammation as assessed clinically by (G.I) & histopathologically. All patients were subjected to full mouth debridement one month prior to any procedure. Tissue biopsies were obtained for histopathological examinations and for measuring level of (PG) in tissues extract. The results demonstrated a highly significant increase in (PGs) in diabetic patients comparing with nondiabetics. also clinical evaluations revealed a significant increase in gingival bleeding in diabetics. Chronic hyperglycemia may be responsible for exaggerated production of PGs and for micro-vascular changes of gingival tissues. Therefore the control of diabetes togcther. with elementation of local irritating factor and the use of non-steroid inflammatory agc ents may reduce alveolar bone loss and inhibit periodontal destruct.ion in diabetics.  ISSN : 0  Journal Name : The New Egyptian journal of medicine  Volume : 15  Issue Number : 1  Publishing Year : 1996 AH 1996 AD  Article Type : Article  Added Date : Monday, December 10, 2007  Researchers Researcher Name (Arabic) Researcher Name (English) Researcher Type Dr Grade Email حكيم السيد Al-Sayed, Hakem Investigator Doctorate   ميرفت الأنصاري Al-Ansary, Mervat Researcher Doctorate   Files File Name Type Description  COMPARISON BETWEEN PROSTAGLANDIN IN GINGIVAL INFLAMMA lION IN DIAnETICS AND NON-DIABETICS.pdf pdf   Back To Researches Page
