Effects of Non-surgical Periodontal Therapy on Porphyromonas gingivalis and Filifactor alocis in Chronic Periodontitis Patients With Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus: A Clinico-Microbiological Study.

alocis exhibited a highly significant association with HbA1c (r = 0.80; p < 0.0001), reinforcing its dependence on metabolic dysregulation, whereas P. gingivalis demonstrated moderate positive correlations with both PPD (r = 0.38; p = 0.04) and CAL (r = 0.38; p = 0.04), reflecting its role in progressive tissue destruction, alongside a persistent correlation with HbA1c (r = 0.57; p = 0.001).
