Brief Summary

This is a pilot clinical trial. The trial included 22 periodontitis patients and 21 periodontitis patients associated with type 2 diabetes mellitus. I got written informed consent from all the participants. I recorded the clinical parameters and performed scaling and root planing for all patients. I collected 5ml salivary samples before treatment and 1 month after treatment for evaluation of salivary Maresin level. The participants were recalled after 1 month for review. 6 patients from group 1 and 10 patients from group 2 were dropped out due to not showing up for the recall visit. I performed ELISA processing to evaluate the salivary Maresin level before and after treatment.  The results show, decreased salivary maresin levels in both groups before the treatment, indicating the chronicity of both the diseases. whereas, after treatment, the salivary maresin levels were increased which depicts tissue return back to homeostasis and accelerates wound healing. This Maresin biomarker can be used as a chairside diagnostic and prognostic test and also it can be used as a novel host-modulating agent. But further larger clinical trials will ensure the results.
