The aim of this study is to evaluate the adjunctive effects of systemic antibiotics used in nonsurgical periodontal treatment (NSPT), compared with NSPT alone, on the periodontal clinical parameters and resistin level in diabetic patients with periodontitis, in order to identify which, one provides an additional effect to non-surgical periodontal therapy

First group are chronic periodontitis patients with diabetes mellitus type II who received scaling and root planning.
Second group will receive 250 mg of azithromycin per day for a period of 5 days, after an initial dose of 500 mg one hour before NSPT.
Third group are Type 2 DM patients who received doxycycline 20mg twice/day. Gingival crevicular fluid will be collected at 0, 1, and 3 months to assess Serum Resistin using a human Resistin enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay Kit following the manufacturer's protocol.
