Inclusion criteria

Inclusion criteria: Diabetic Group: According to the criteria of the American Diabetes Association (38), individuals meeting any of the following criteria are considered to have T2DM: fasting plasma glucose (FPG) = 126 mg/dL, and hemoglobin A1C = 6.5%. Patients with controlled diabetes (= 7.5%) who have been diagnosed for at least one year and use only oral anti-diabetic drugs (OAD) for blood sugar control will be included in the study. Periodontitis Group: A comprehensive periodontal examination will be conducted by a periodontist at the dental clinic. During the periodontal examination, the plaque index (PI), gingival index (GI), periodontal pocket depth (PPD), and clinical attachment loss (CAL) will be assessed. Patients with untreated moderate to severe chronic periodontitis (at least one tooth in each quadrant with bleeding on probing, pocket depth = 5 mm, and attachment loss = 4 mm) will be included in the study (39). Healthy Control Group: Healthy individuals without acute or chronic diseases, malignancies, immunodeficiency, hypertension, metabolic diseases, or oral diseases based on diagnostic criteria for diabetes and periodontitis.

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria: Pregnant and breastfeeding women Individuals using insulin Individuals with chronic cardiovascular, renal, hepatic, pulmonary diseases, chronic or acute inflammatory diseases, cancer, and psychiatric disorders Individuals with short bowel syndrome and allergies Diabetic patients with microvascular and macrovascular complications Individuals with untreated oral abscesses Use of medications that alter saliva secretion Individuals with fixed orthodontic appliances Use of antibiotics or probiotics within three months prior to entering the study Consumption of foods containing probiotics Individuals who are addicted, alcoholics, smokers, and tobacco users
