Evaluatıon Of The Relatıonshıp Between Perıodontal Inflammatıon Severıty And Pan-Immune System Inflammatıon Value

Periodontitis is a chronic inflammatory disease that leads to progressive destruction of the tooth-supporting tissues and contributes to systemic inflammatory burden. Periodontal Inflamed Surface Area (PISA) is a validated quantitative measure that estimates the total inflamed periodontal surface area and reflects the inflammatory burden associated with periodontal disease.

The Pan-Immune-Inflammation Value (PIV) is a novel composite biomarker calculated from complete blood count parameters using the following formula: neutrophil count × platelet count × monocyte count / lymphocyte count. PIV has been proposed as a comprehensive indicator of systemic inflammation.

This cross-sectional observational study aims to investigate the relationship between PISA and PIV in systemically healthy adults.

A total of 160 participants aged 18 years and older will be recruited from the Department of Periodontology, Faculty of Dentistry, Bolu Abant Izzet Baysal University. Participants will be classified as periodontally healthy, gingivitis, or periodontitis according to the 2017 World Workshop Classification of Periodontal and Peri-Implant Diseases and Conditions.

Clinical periodontal parameters, including Plaque Index, Gingival Index, Papillary Bleeding Index, Probing Pocket Depth, Clinical Attachment Loss, Bleeding on Probing, and PISA, will be recorded by a single calibrated examiner.
