The present meta-analysis represents the best information available to date that addresses this issue, and suggests that periodontal treatment could improve glycaemic control. Nevertheless, these results should be viewed with caution because of a lack of robustness and deficiencies in the design of some of the studies included. A randomised controlled trial (RCT) with sufficient statistical power would help to confirm the results of this meta-analysis.
