Periodontitis is a multifactorial, chronic inflammatory disease caused by many factors such as pathogenic microorganisms, host response, environmental and systemic factors. Immune mechanisms triggered by host-bacteria interaction can initiate tissue destruction by leading to the release of large amounts of inflammatory mediators such as IL-1β. It is thought that IL-10 has a regulatory role by limiting the initiation and progression of the acute inflammatory response with its anti-inflammatory effect. The high detection of RANKL and RANKL/OPG ratios in periodontitis indicates that these markers play a role in bone destruction. Elucidating the connections between the immune system and bone-related cytokines will contribute significantly to the resolution of these complex mechanisms underlying periodontal diseases. Risk factors for periodontal diseases include gender, age, smoking and some hereditary factors. Cortisol is an important marker of psychological stress. It is emphasized that stress and depression reduce immune system function and cause chronic inflammation. Thus, it indirectly provokes periodontal tissue destruction.
This study consists of patients and healthy volunteers. Saliva will be collected only once from healthy volunteers; from patients at the beginning and after non-surgical periodontal treatments are performed by the researchers. In the collected saliva; clinical parameters and salivary RANKL, OPG, IL-10, IL-1β, cortisol levels will be determined in periodontitis and periodontally healthy individuals living in two different geographical regions in Turkey (Ankara -Erzurum); it will be determined whether non-surgical periodontal treatment has an effect on cytokines determined in saliva and clinical status at the end of 1-month follow-up period; periodontal pathogenesis and host response will be evaluated in smoker and non-smoker groups. Analyses will be performed by ELISA method.
The study is based on the hypothesis that "different regional and geographical conditions determining climate, culture, environment, life, stress situations affect the course of periodontitis disease and host response". A regional comparison will be made between markers that affect the course of periodontitis disease and play a role in its pathogenesis in patients with different climate, living and cultural conditions, according to location.

| Determination of Pocket Depth (PD) | Williams periodontal probe was used to determine pocket depth. Care was taken to use the probe parallel to the long axis of the tooth with its own weight during the measurements. PD was measured from 6 regions (mesio-buccal, mid-buccal, disto-buccal, mesio-lingual/palatal, mid-lingual/palatal, disto-lingual/palatal) for each tooth and recorded in millimeters (mm). The PD value for each tooth was obtained by taking the average of the 6 measured values. |

A total of 77 subjects in Ankara and Erzurum, 19 non-smokers (NS-P) with stage III, grade B generalized periodontitis and 14 smokers (SP) with stage III, grade C generalized periodontitis, as well as 22 non-smokers (NS-C) and 22 smokers (SC) periodontally healthy control cases were included in the study.Periodontal parameters were recorded, and unstimulated saliva samples were collected from all patients. Periodontitis patients (N=33) were evaluated clinically and biochemically (saliva IL-1β, cortisol, RANKL, OPG, and IL-10) 4 weeks after complete oral cleansing and root correction (SRP). Saliva samples were analyzed using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). The data were analyzed using the SPSS software version 22.0.

Twenty-two patients who applied to the Department of Periodontics, Faculty of Dentistry, Ataturk University, and were diagnosed with Stage III Grade A periodontitis, 11 smokers and 11 smokers, with clinically probed pocket depths greater than 5 mm and radiographically ≥3 mm bone loss.

|
| Saliva Collection (Baseline) | Diagnostic Test | Unstimulated saliva samples were collected from all participants between 9:00 and 11:00 am. Clinical periodontal measurements were performed after saliva collection to prevent contamination (bleeding, etc.). Participants refrained from brushing their teeth the morning before sampling and from eating, drinking, or smoking for at least 2 hours before sampling. Patients were asked to rinse their mouths with distilled water 5 minutes before saliva collection. A saliva sample was then collected by spitting directly into a sterile tube. Sample collection was continued for 5 minutes. |
|
| Probing | Other | Clinical and radiographic evaluations were performed by trained and calibrated examiners at Ankara University (SY) and Ataturk University (OT). Clinical parameters of probing depth (PPD), clinical attachment level CAL, plaque index PI, and bleeding on probing (BOP) were recorded from six tooth regions (mesio-buccal, mid-buccal, disto-buccal, mesio-lingual, middle lingual, and disto-lingual) using periodontal probe. Bone loss was assessed using panoramic radiographs, confirming the diagnosis of periodontitis. |
|
| Saliva Collection (After treatment) | Diagnostic Test | Unstimulated saliva samples were collected from all participants between 9:00 and 11:00 am. Clinical periodontal measurements were performed after saliva collection to prevent contamination (bleeding, etc.). Participants refrained from brushing their teeth the morning before sampling and from eating, drinking, or smoking for at least 2 hours before sampling. Patients were asked to rinse their mouths with distilled water 5 minutes before saliva collection. A saliva sample was then collected by spitting directly into a sterile tube. Sample collection was continued for 5 minutes. |

| Determination of Clinical Attachment Level (CAL) | In order to determine CAL, the cementoenamel border will be determined as a reference point and the distance between the reference point and the pocket base will be measured with a periodontal probe and recorded in mm. CAL will be recorded from 6 regions (mesio-buccal, mid-buccal, disto-buccal, mesio-lingual/palatal, mid-lingual/palatal, disto-lingual/palatal) for each tooth. The CAL value for each tooth will be obtained by averaging the 6 measured values. | up to 4 weeks |
| Determination of the Presence and Accumulation Level of Dental Plaque | Plaque accumulation around the tooth will be recorded using the Plaque Index (PI) developed by Silness and Löe. Accordingly; 0. No plaque,
The PI value of each measured tooth will be obtained by averaging the scores recorded from 4 regions (mid-mesial, mid-buccal, mid-distal, mid-lingual/palatal) for a tooth. The PI value for each patient will be calculated as follows: PI= Total PI in all teeth / Total number of teeth | up to 4 weeks |
| Determination of Gingival Bleeding on Probing | The Probing Bleeding Index (BPI) developed by Ainamo and Bay will be used to evaluate gingival bleeding on probing. According to this index; Positive (+) indicates the presence of bleeding on probing, negative (-) indicates the absence of bleeding on probing. After applying pressure by the weight of the probe within the pocket using the BPI ; periodontal probe, each tooth will be evaluated for 4 regions (mid-mesial, mid-buccal, mid-distal, mid-lingual/palatal) and will be determined as positive (+) or negative (-) and recorded as a percentage. The percentage of bleeding on probing for each patient will be calculated as follows; BOP (bleeding on probing) percentage = number of teeth with bleeding on probing x100 / total number of teeth | up to 4 weeks |
