Study Description

Brief Summary

Periodontal diseases are a public health burden in all countries. Hence, Periodontitis is the sixth-most prevalent disease in the world, the most common bone diseases in human and the primary cause for tooth loss in adults leading to significant economic and medical consequences. All disease biomarkers could help to stratify the general population with those at high risk of periodontitis and to enroll them in a rigorous prevention program. Advanced periodontitis has been shown to reduce the quality of life of patients and developing novel biological monitoring protocols will reduce the prevalence of advanced forms of the disease.

There are alot of research explaining the different types of inflammatory mediators that could be found in periodontitis patients. But there are a few research have been talking about lipoxin A4 as an inflammatory biomarker that could detect the effect of non surgical periodontal therapy effect on the periodontal health.

And the aim of the study is to assess the effect of this non surgical periodontal therapy on the periodontal health by assessing the concentration of this biomarker.
