Bone Remodeling and Non-surgical Periodontal Therapy

Not Applicable

• Conditions: Periodontal Diseases

• Registration Number: NCT05636683
• Lead Sponsor: University of Baghdad

Brief Summary

Previous studied have investigated the pathophysiological role and expression of Cathepsin K (Ctsk) , receptor activator of the NF-κB ligand (RANKL) and periostin in active periodontitis and peri-implantitis lesions. However, the potential influence of non-surgical periodontal therapy including scaling and root planning on the bone remodeling markers level over different trial times have not well determined. Thus, the current research is conducted to address this influence. Thus, the research question will be: In patients with periodontitis, does the level of bone remodeling markers altered after successful NSPT during different healing time periods?
