Overview

Compares glucose levels measured in gingival crevicular blood and peripheral blood, suggesting utility in diabetes screening.

Key Points

  • The aim was to compare glucose levels in gingival crevicular blood and peripheral blood using different glucometers.
  • Included 85 patients with bleeding during probing.
  • Collected gingival crevicular blood and peripheral blood samples.
  • Measured glucose using two glucometers: Dr. Morepen and Contour Plus.
  • Performed Bland-Altman analysis for comparisons and concordance correlation analysis.
  • Assessed agreement using intraclass correlation and statistical significance.
  • Mean glucose level was highest in peripheral blood (102.68 mg/dL) and lowest in gingival crevicular blood from glucometer B (99.58 mg/dL).
  • No significant bias between GCB A and random blood sugar results.
  • Both gingival crevicular blood samples showed high concordance with peripheral blood and random blood sugar values.
  • Indicated possible noninvasive method for glucose measurement in dental settings.
