Summary

The aim of this study is to evaluate the clinical, microbiological, and biochemical effects of Morus nigra (black mulberry) mouthwash when used as an adjunct to non-surgical periodontal treatment (scaling and root planing - SRP) in patients with generalized gingivitis. Participants will be randomly assigned to two groups: one receiving SRP only, and the other receiving SRP plus Morus nigra mouthwash twice daily for 14 days. Clinical parameters, cytokine levels in gingival crevicular fluid (TNF-alpha, IL-1beta, IL-10), and subgingival bacterial load will be assessed at baseline, 1 month, and 3 months.
