The Impact of Non-surgical Periodontal Therapy on Patients' Halitosis, Taste Perception, and Smell Sensation

Summary

The goal of this observational study is to evaluate the effect of non-surgical periodontal treatment on patient halitosis, smell, and taste perception in gingivitis and periodontitis patients. The main questions it aims to answer are:

* Do gingivitis, periodontitis, and gingival health affect the patient's halitosis, taste, and smell perception?
* Does non-surgical treatment affect the patient's bad breath, perception of taste and smell? Participants will be informed about the study. No additional intervention will be performed for the study, and patients will continue their routine periodontal treatments.
