Brief summary

Previous studied have investigated the pathophysiological role and expression of Cathepsin K (Ctsk) , receptor activator of the NF-κB ligand (RANKL) and periostin in active periodontitis and peri-implantitis lesions. However, the potential influence of non-surgical periodontal therapy including scaling and root planning on the bone remodeling markers level over different trial times have not well determined. Thus, the current research is conducted to address this influence. Thus, the research question will be: In patients with periodontitis, does the level of bone remodeling markers altered after successful NSPT during different healing time periods?

Interventions

subjects will be examined for clinical periodontal parameters, their saliva samples will be collected, and then receiving full scaling using ultrasonic device, and oral hygiene instructions and motivation. After one week, the same clinical parameters, saliva sampling will be taken, and received full root surface debridement (RSD) using curette hand instruments (Gracey, USA) (First visit). One month and three months after first visit, the same clinical measurements, saliva will characterize as second and third visits, respectively.
