Purpose: Type 2 diabetes mellitus (type 2 DM) and periodontitis encompass vascular endothelial changes. Endocan, a marker of endothelial dysfunction, has not been previously evaluated in diabetic patients with periodontal disease. This study was designed to evaluate the levels of endocan and tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α) in chronic periodontitis (CP) subjects with type 2 DM before and after nonsurgical periodontal therapy (NSPT).
