Eligibility

Inclusion criteria

Inclusion criteria: 1.Healthy subjects should be systemically healthy and showing absence of clinical manifestations of periodontal disease. 2.Chronic periodontitis patients having at least 20 natural teeth and minimum of six teeth with periodontal pockets >= 5mm and clinical attachment level >= 3-4 mm. 3.Generalised aggressive periodontitis patients with clinical attachment level >= 5mm affecting at least three teeth other than first molars and incisors and moderate to severe bone loss as assessed by radiographs. 4.All the patients should be systemically healthy and should not have received periodontal treatment for at least 6 months prior to the clinical examination and sampling.

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria: 1.Smokers. 2.Systemic diseases like diabetes mellitus, heart diseases, rheumatoid arthritis, hepatitis and other systemic diseases that can alter the course of periodontal disease. 3.Diseases of oral hard and soft tissue except caries and periodontitis. 4.Subjects on any medication taken within the last 6 months which may alter the periodontal status. 5.Pregnant and lactating mothers.
