Brief summary
Treatment of periodontal diseases relies on the mechanical removal of microbial dental plaque, calculus, and necrotic cementum from root surfaces in both supra- and subgingival areas to control inflammation in periodontal tissues. As in all dental treatments, dental phobia and dental anxiety are common challenges in initial periodontal therapy. Hypnosis is among the traditional non-pharmacological behavior management techniques used to manage stress and improve pain tolerance. It is known that hypnosis is effective in anxiety control in dentistry. The use of salivary levels of inflammatory mediators released during the disease is a valid method for assessing the progression of periodontal disease and healing after treatment. In this study, the effect of hypnosis on healing in patients undergoing Phase I periodontal therapy will be evaluated by comparing the mean differences in cytokine levels between case and control groups
