Eligibility

Inclusion criteria

Inclusion criteria: The study participants are categorized into 3 groups based on the diagnosis. 1. Clinically healthy gingiva ( no bleeding, no calculus, pocket depth less than 3 mm, no clinical attachment loss) 2. Biofilm induced Gingivitis ( bleeding and calculus present. Pocket depth less than 3mm, no clinical attachment loss) 3. Stage III/IV Grade A Periodontitis ( cleeding and calculus present, pocket depth more than 5 mm, clinical attachment loss more than 2 mm)

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria: 1.Presence of metabolic diseases 2.Presence of heart diseases or blood pressure alteration, renal, hepatic, gastrointestinal disease that requires a medication; presence of sexually transmitted disease, HIV, HCV infection. 3.Presence of a genetic disorder that could interfere with the evaluation of the study objectives. 4.Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and asthma. 5.Presence of any neoplastic lesion or cancer or paraneoplastic syndrome. 6.Current radiotherapy or chemotherapy. 7.More than 8 missing teeth, with missing teeth, accounted for by third molar extractions, teeth extracted for orthodontic purposes, teeth extracted because of trauma, or congenitally missing teeth. 8.Presence of orthodontic appliances. 9.Presence of tumors or significant pathology of the soft or hard tissues of the oral cavity (such as erythroplakia, leukoplakia, candidiasis) 10.Clinically meaningful halitosis as determined by organoleptic assessment by an experienced clinician. 11.Untreated carious lesions or oral abscesses 12.Current or past (within 3 months before enrolment) assumption of medications that may influence periodontal conditions and/or interfere with healing following periodontal treatment (i.e., corticosteroids, calcium channel blockers, systemic antibiotics). 13.Patients who underwent previous oral prophylaxis in the last 6 months. 14.Patients who have taken antibiotics for the past 6 months.
