Brief summary
The aim of the study is to identify tissue changes among healthy patients, patients with gingivitis and with periodontitis before and after treatment, by analyzing tissues changes through Line-Field Confocal Optical Coherence Tomography (LC-OCT)
Detailed description
The tissue changes among healthy patients, patients with gingivitis and with periodontitis before and after treatment, by analyzing tissues changes through Line-Field Confocal Optical Coherence Tomography (LC-OCT) will be evaluated through changes on epithelium before and after non surgical periodontal treatment
