Clinical indices and microbiological parameters were determined of39 adult patients , their age ranged from 35-65, 18 diabetic (non-insuline dependent diabetes mellitus) and 21 non-diabetics. The clinical results demonstrated the significant increase in all gineival clinical parameters in diabetics comparing with the non-diabetics, Microblologically, staphy - lococcus aureus, micrococcus sp.. Gram - ve bacilli and yeasts showed higher percentage of isolates in diabetic patients than in non-diabetic patients. Thus diabetic status may, not only affect the clinical aspect of the gingival tissue of the diabetic patients, but may also modify microbial plaque activities.  ISSN : 0  Journal Name : The New Egyptian journal of medicine  Volume : 5  Issue Number : 4  Publishing Year : 1991 AH 1991 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   عفاف أمين Amin, Afaf Researcher Doctorate   Files File Name Type Description  ESTIMATION OF PROTEOLYTIC ACTIVITY OF.pdf pdf   Back To Researches Page
