Summary

This study aims to investigate the effect of periodontal treatment on olfactory function in patients with periodontitis by comparing pre- and post-treatment periodontal indices, Winkel tongue coating scores, and Sniffin' Sticks TDI components.

Conditions

  • Periodontitis
  • Tongue Coating
  • Olfactory Dysfunction

Interventions

PROCEDURE

Non-Surgical Periodontal Treatment (Scaling and Root Planing

Participants receive standard non-surgical periodontal treatment, including scaling and root planing of all teeth except third molars. Clinical periodontal parameters-including Plaque Index, Gingival Bleeding Index, Probing Pocket Depth, and Clinical Attachment Loss-are recorded before treatment and three days after the final session. Tongue coating is assessed using the Winkel Tongue Coating Index, and olfactory function is evaluated using the Sniffin' Sticks TDI score. Each participant serves as their own control for pre- and post-treatment comparisons.
