Periodontal Disease and Salivary Mitofusin Levels
Sponsor: Erzincan University
Summary
The aim of this observational study is to find out whether there is a level difference in salivary mitofusin-1 and mitofusin-2 levels due to changes in periodontal status. The main question it aims to answer is: * Do salivary mitofusin-1 and mitofusin-2 levels of periodontitis patients differ from healthy patients? * Could salivary mitofusin-1 and mitofusin-2 levels be biomarkers for periodontal disease? Biochemical analysis will be performed on saliva samples taken at once from gingivitis or periodontitis patients and healthy individuals who apply to the periodontology clinic, at the initial stage of the treatment. There is no ongoing monitoring or second sampling.
Official title: Evaluation of the Roles of Salivary Mitofusin-1 and Mitofusin-2 Levels in Periodontal Disease
