About this study
The purpose of this study is to evaluate clinical healing after dental extraction and the occurrence of surgical complications in patients with type 2 diabetes and compare with non-diabetic patients or control, taking into account laboratory data such as blood count, glycated hemoglobin (HbA1) and immunological profile of the patients.
Read the detailed description
It has been established in scientific literature that patients with diabetes have a greater predisposition to oral complications and that oral infections may compromise their metabolic control. There is scant clinical evidence of a relationship between diabetes and an increased risk of infection after dental extractions. To our knowledge, no prospective longitudinal studies have been designed to prove this hypothesis.
The aim of this study is to evaluate clinical healing after dental extraction and the occurrence of surgical complications in patients with type 1 and 2 diabetes and compare with non-diabetic patients, taking into account laboratory data such as blood count, glycated hemoglobin (HbA1) and immunological profile of the patients.
Ninety patients shall be prospectively studied, divided into 3 groups: Group 1 will consist of 30 patients with uncontrolled type 2 diabetics patients, group 2 will consist of 30 controlled type 2 diabetics patients and group 3 composed of 30 non-diabetic patients (control group).
All patients will undergo extraction of erupted teeth, always carried out by the same dentist (MS).
A complete medical history and laboratory tests will be conducted for all patients including: glycated hemoglobin (HbA1), fasting glucose, complete blood count, platelets, prothrombin time (PT), partial thromboplastin time (PTT), immunoglobulins (IgA, IgG and IgM), CD3, CD4, CD8, testing of complement (C3, C4), dihydrorhodamine (DHR) oxidation, phagocytosis index test and neutrophil chemotaxis.
At the end of surgery, blood pressure and plasma glucose by finger prick will be measured again. Surgery characteristics will be recorded, such as: length of surgery time from anesthesia to sutures, whether forceps and/or lever were used, the need to use a flap approach, the number of vials of anesthetic used, and intra-ligament anesthesia.
The clinical assessment of healing will take place 3, 7, 21, and 60 days after surgery and will be performed by the same dentist who perform the surgeries (KSF), blinded to the group of the patient and laboratory exams. On these days, the region will be examined, photographed and will be applied to the Visual Analogic Scale (VAS).
On day 60 after surgery, the postoperative period will be classified as: 1) no complications or 2) with complications, according to Cheung et al 2001. The following situations will be considered as complications after dental extraction:
- Acute infection of the alveolus: pain, erythema, edema, purulent discharge and fever;
- Acute inflammation of the alveolus: pain, inflamed alveolar tissue, absence of pus and fever;
- Dry socket: persistent pain and exposure of the alveolar bone.
All this clinical information will determine the post-operative quality regarding the healing time and occurrence of infection and inflammation of the alveoli.
Data will be statistically analyzed in order for us to understand the pattern of healing and occurrence of complications after dental extraction in the studied groups. The data analyzed will include hematological data, immunological profile and the glycated hemoglobin of patients.

What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
Dental extractionsProcedure or surgery
All dental extractions were performed at an outpatient clinic at the USP Dental School. In addition, all extractions were performed under local anesthesia by the same experienced dentist, in accordance with the standards established by Peterson et al (2008).
| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| post-extraction wound healing | Experimental | 53 individuals with diabetes and 29 controls, without diabetes, were followed for 60 days after dental extractions, and were examined after 3, 7, 21, and 60 postoperative days. Receives: Procedure: Dental extractions |
What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
postoperative complications
Postoperative complications included the following signs and symptoms: edema; erythema; alveolar bone exposure; halitosis; trismus; fever; cellulitis; Ludwig's angina; loss of appetite; malaise; itching; moderate pain (as assessed by a visual analog scale); and unpleasant taste.
Measured: 3, 7, 21, and 60 postoperative days
Secondary outcomes (1)
Delayed wound healing
According to the literature, the dental alveolus is filled with blood clot and fibrin at 3 days after dental extraction; on postoperative day 7, the alveolus is filled with granulation tissue; on postoperative day 21, wound epithelialization is complete; and on postoperative day 60, alveolar bone formation can be observed on a dental radiographic image. Delayed wound healing was defined as a delay in any of the aforementioned events.
Measured: 3, 7, 21, and 60 postoperative days

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
postoperative complications (time frame: 3, 7, 21, and 60 postoperative days). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT01091909, which also lists 2 linked publications.
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?
No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
How often is this information updated?
AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 17 Jul 2014.
