DIAGNOSTIC_TEST

Assess Periodontal Health Status

For all patients who are suitable for the study, the following clinical evaluation parameters will be recorded: * Plaque index (PI)(Silness and Löe, 1964). * Sulcus bleeding index(BOP)(Perez et al., 2008). * Probing depth (PD) (Polson et al., 1980). * Clinical attachment level (CAL) (Glavind and Löe, 1967). * Standardized Periapical Radiograph.

OTHER

Collecte GCF samples by paperstrip

GCF samples will be collected from all participating individuals to assess the levels of MMP-8 from the deepest periodontal pocket in the area. The sample areas will be insulated with cotton rolls, saliva contamination will be prevented, all supragingival plaque will be eliminated. The paper strips will placed into the periodontal pocket until resistance is felt and then permitted to remain for 30s(Offenbacher et al., 1984, Megson et al., 2010).
