Eligibility

Inclusion criteria

Inclusion criteria: The study will include patients aged between 18 and 45 years who meet specific clinical criteria. Participants must be diagnosed with periodontitis, ranging from moderate to severe, as determined by clinical examination. Additionally, individuals diagnosed with sickle cell anemia (SCA) will be considered, with diagnosis confirmed through both clinical evaluation and laboratory tests, specifically those with hemoglobin S levels greater than 45%.

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria: Patients will be excluded from the study if they have a history of periodontal surgery or other periodontal treatments within the past 6 months. Additionally, individuals with systemic conditions that may alter salivary composition, such as autoimmune diseases or oral cancer, will not be eligible. Those who have used antibiotics or anti-inflammatory medications in the past 3 months will also be excluded, as well as pregnant or lactating individuals. Furthermore, patients with severe medical conditions that could potentially influence the study results will be excluded to ensure the integrity of the findings.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
This study will help us to identify the correlation between salivary pH and MMP-8 levels in periodontitis among sickle cell anemia patients, both before and after treatment.Timepoint: 18 months

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Evaluating changes in salivary pH and MMP-8 levels and their correlation with clinical parameters such as probing depth and clinical attachment level, following non-surgical periodontal therapy. This study aims to enhance understanding of the link between periodontal disease and systemic conditions like sickle cell anemia and the effectiveness of non-surgical periodontal therapy in altering oral health biomarkers. Timepoint: 18 months
