Análisis de niveles de glucosa en pacientes con enfermedad periodontal - Clínica UCSG semestre A – 2018.

Abstract

ntroduction: The Blood glucose is the amount of glucose molecules that it contains our body, which vary from 70mg/dl to 110mg/dl as the normal range, and is the body's main source of energy. There are alterations in the levels of glucose found in the blood, which according to their molecularly increase or decrease, are called hypoglycemia and hyperglycemia. These levels can be measured by fasting or postprandial blood tests, in which the amount of molecular glucose is determined, in order to provide medical information from the patient to the professional. The glucometer is commonly used in diabetic patients to control blood glucose levels. Materials and Methods: Observational, descriptive and correlational studies; this research was carried out in the dental clinic of the Universidad Católica de Santiago de Guayaquil, located in the city of Guayaquil. The study universe contemplated is 150 patients, of which a sample of 50 patients who met the inclusion criteria obtained. This sample was: a) periodontal examination; b) data collection; and, c) blood sampling to measure glucose levels. Results: In correlation with the blood glucose test of patients with periodontal disease, the following percentages stand out: a) gingival furrow, 58.00% with normal blood glucose levels; and, b) On the capillary surface, and 56.00% with normal glucose level. Conclusions: There is not significant difference between gingival sulcus sampling and capillary surface puncture in the finger region of the hand.
