Acne Vulgaris, Gingivitis, Dental Plaque, Oral Hygiene, Puberty
Conditions
Brief summary
The goal of this observational study is to learn about in the relationship between acne vulgaris and oral hygiene and gingivitis. The main questions it aims to answer are: * Is there a relationship between the severity of acne vulgaris lesions and the severity of plaque-related gingivitis? * Could oral hygiene or the severity of plaque-related gingivitis have an impact on the treatment of acne lesions? Participants will; * First be examined at the dermatology clinic. * Then be examined at the periodontology clinic. * Participants with severe acne vulgaris lesions will be examined a second time at the dermatology clinic. (1.5 months after the first examination) * Regularly use the antibiotic containing 100 mg doxycycline prescribed in the dermatology clinic for acne treatment. (Patients deemed suitable by the dermatologist)
Interventions
Determining the patient's oral hygiene status and the severity of gingivitis. For this purpose, the non-invasive Löe-Silness plaque and gingival index system will be used.

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| The relationship between acne vulgaris and the severity of gingivitis depending on the amount of plaque | Baseline | Data from three groups will be presented as the correlation between the Gingival Index score and the Plaque Index score. The relationship between the severity of gingival inflammation depending on the amount of plaque and acne lesions will be evaluated. |
| The relationship between acne vulgaris and oral hygiene | Baseline | Describes the relationship between plaque index data obtained during periodontal examination of patients and acne lesions. According to the plaque index system, a score of 0 indicates the absence of plaque. A score of 1 refers to the amount of plaque that is not visible to the eye but detected by the periodontal probe. A score of 2 refers to the amount of plaque detectable visually. The highest score, 3, indicates excessive plaque accumulation. |
| Relationship between acne vulgaris and gingival index | Baseline | To compare gingival index values obtained during periodontal examination with acne vulgaris, regardless of plaque index values. According to the gingival index system, a score of 0 indicates completely healthy gums. A score of 1 indicates mild erythema and no bleeding on probing. A score of 2 indicates a small amount of bleeding on probing. The highest score, 3, indicates spontaneous or excessive gingival bleeding. |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| The relationship between response to medical treatment and severity of gingivitis depending on the amount of plaque | At the end of 1.5 months from the beginning | The relationship between the response to medical treatment at the end of 1.5 months from the beginning and the severity of gingivitis depending on the amount of plaque in Group C (severe periodontitis) patients |
| The relationship between response to medical treatment and oral hygiene | At the end of 1.5 months from the beginning | Response to medical treatment in Group C (severe periodontitis) patients at the end of 1.5 months from the beginning. The relationship between response to medical treatment and plaque index. According to the plaque index system, a score of 0 indicates the absence of plaque. A score of 1 refers to the amount of plaque that is not visible to the eye but detected by the periodontal probe. A score of 2 refers to the amount of plaque detectable visually. The highest score, 3, indicates excessive plaque accumulation. |
| The relationship between response to medical treatment and gingival index | At the end of 1.5 months from the beginning | Response to medical treatment in Group C (severe periodontitis) patients after 1.5 months from the beginning. The relationship between response to medical treatment and gingival index. According to the gingival index system, a score of 0 indicates completely healthy gums. A score of 1 indicates mild erythema and no bleeding on probing. A score of 2 indicates a small amount of bleeding on probing. The highest score, 3, indicates spontaneous or excessive gingival bleeding. |
