Periodontal status was determined by examining six surfaces of all teeth (midbuccally, midlingually, and approximally both buccally and lingually) for the presence or absence of gingival bleeding on probing, sub-gingival calculus, and pocket depth as assessed by a ball point probe graded in 2 mm (probe force ~ 20 g; LM Instruments Oy, Parainen, Finland). The Naber's probe or the Furcation probe is a blunt ended instrument that is used buccally and lingually on the periodontal structure to locate possible furcation involvement. When given 15 minutes before a glucose meal in healthy rats, the buccally (through the mouth's mucosal membrane) delivered insulin with the CAPI system not only prevented the elevation in postprandial (after a meal) glucose levels, it further reduced the blood glucose levels in healthy rats by 15 percent in 30 minutes, compared to a 20 percent increase observed with buccally delivered insulin alone. |
