MeSH:	MANNOSE-BINDING LECTIN POLYMORPHISM, GENETIC PERIODONTITIS DIABETES MELLITUS, TYPE 2
Abstract:	Aim: Mannose-binding lectin (MBL) is an important protein of the innate immune system. It is able to bind to sugar groups encountered on the surfaces of a wide range of microorganisms and interacts with serine proteases (MASPs) to effect the activation of complement. Mutations of the expressed human MBL2 gene have been associated with several infections; this preliminary study thus sets out to assess the association between the polymorphism in exon-1 of the MBL2 gene and periodontal disease in type 2 diabetic patients. Material and Methods: The sample comprised 50 diabetic patients, who were submitted to a clinical periodontal examination that evaluated in six sites per tooth probing depth, bleeding on probing, clinical recession, dental plaque and the number of teeth present. Periodontal disease was defined as 4+ sites of loss of attachment of 5+ mm, with one or more of those sites having a pocket of 4+ mm (Beck’s criteria). The collection of scaling cells from the oral mucosa was carried out and the detection of polymorphism was made by the technique of real time PCR (RT-PCR) using the melting temperature curve analysis. Results: The data revealed that no statistically significant differences in the genotype (p=0.564) or the allele (p=0.643) frequencies were observed among the healthy individuals or those with periodontitis. Conclusions: The polymorphism in exon-1 of the MBL2 gene was not related to the periodontal disease in the sample evaluated.

Abstract:	The object/purpose of this investigation was to examine the condition of the periodontium in employees working in the Chemistry Department of the Shipyard in Rijeka. Thirty-four employees participated in the examination, aged 25 to 55 years, the majority of which work in direct contact with chemicals. The control group consisted of 90 examinees/subjects of the same age, not employed in the Chemistry Department of the Shipyard. The presence of periodontal changes in the examinees were based on a finding of gingival bleeding, dental plaque and tartar, probing depth of 3 mm and more and loss of attachment. Non-parametric Mann-Whitney U test was used for comparison of two independent groups, the examinees and a control group. The results of the examination showed inflammatory gingival changes in 85% of the employees. In the examined group the greatest probing depth of periodontal pockets was in the lower central incisors, 3.06 ± 1.51 mm and 3.09 ± 1.58 mm, which was statistically significantly different in relation to the control group (p < 0.001). The greatest loss of attachment in the examined group was also in the lower central incisors, and amounted to 3.56 ± 2.67 mm and 3.53 ± 2.62, which differed significantly from the findings in examinees in the control group (p < 0.001). On the basis of the findings of inflammatory changes in the periodontium and the presence of probing depth and loss of attachment, indicating chronic periodontitis in the majority of examinees compared to the control group, it can be said that the specific environment has a negative effect on the periodontal condition of employees in the Chemistry Department of the Shipyard, which requires regular control of the periodontal condition of these employees.
