Relationship Between NLRP3 Inflammasome Activation and Stages of Periodontitis: An Association With Inflammaging

This study aims to investigate the relationship between NLRP3 inflammasome activation and different stages of periodontitis, with a focus on its association with inflammaging. Periodontitis is a chronic inflammatory disease affecting the supporting tissues of the teeth, and aging-related inflammation may influence its progression. The study will include participants with different stages of periodontitis as well as healthy individuals. Clinical periodontal parameters will be recorded, and biological samples such as saliva or gingival crevicular fluid will be collected to measure levels of NLRP3 inflammasome components and inflammatory markers. The results of this study may help improve understanding of the role of inflammation and aging in periodontal disease and could contribute to better diagnosis and treatment strategies.
