GLUCOSE TOLERANCE RESPONSES IN YOUNG ADULTS OF SHARPLY CONTRASTING PERIODONTAL STATUS.

Abstract

Conventional oral glucose tolerance tests were performed for 100 systemically healthy young adult males. Half of these subjects were classified as being relatively free of periodontal involvement (GPI = 1.60), while the other half presented evidence of loss of alveolar support and, in general, could be classified as requiring periodontal treatment (GPI = 3.15). Statistical analyses sought differences in glucose responses between the two groups at all sampling intervals. No significant differences were found. These results confirm previous observations from this laboratory that glucose tolerance testing cannot be employed as an index of susceptibility to periodontal involvement in this age group.
