Resumo
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the association between interleukine-6 (IL-6) serum levels and oral status (dental caries and gingivitis) in diabetic patients. Blood glucose level was noted from the previous 18-month clinical records in 42 patients. An oral exploration was performed, as was IL-6 serum level. Higher IL-6 levels compared to standard figures for normal people were found, along with an association with blood glucose level. No significant association with oral status variables was found.
