Background: Omentin is an adipocytokine secreted by visceral adipose tissue cells associated with the action of insulin‑increasing, insulin‑facilitated glucose uptake. Aim: The aim of this study was to compare and evaluate the levels of omentin in gingival crevicular uid (GCF) and serum of periodontally healthy individuals and chronic periodontitis (CP) patients with and without type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Settings and Design: A hospital‑based comparative study was conducted amongst 40 subjects in the age group 30–50 years.
Methods: Subjects were divided into four groups, group I (10 healthy individuals), group II (10 T2DM), group III (10 CP only), and group IV(10 patients with CP and T2DM). Clinical and systemic parameters assessed were gingival index (GI), plaque index (PI), probing pocket depth (PPD), periodontal attachment level (PAL), and glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c). Serum and…
