“Scaling, Root Planing, and Antibiotics Improve Glycemic Control in Diabetic Patients with Severe Periodontitis”

https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38115631

The study found that while both scaling and root planing (SRP) and SRP plus systemic antibiotics were beneficial for glycemic control in patients with severe periodontitis and diabetes, the addition of antibiotics slightly improved the outcome for those with poor glycemic control.
