TNF-α analysis in GCF
The primary intervention will involve the non-invasive collection of GCF samples using Periopaper strips. The strips will be placed into the gingival sulcus for 30 seconds and then stored at -80°C until analysis. The analysis of TNF-α levels in gingival crevicular fluid (GCF) will be performed using ELISA.
IL-17A analysis in GCF
The primary intervention involves the non-invasive collection of GCF samples using periopaper strips. Periopaper strips are placed into the gingival sulcus for 30 seconds, then stored at -80°C until analysis. Analysis of TNF-α levels in gingival crevicular fluid (GCF) will be performed using ELISA.
YKL-40 analysis in GCF
The primary intervention involves the non-invasive collection of GCF samples using periopaper strips. Periopaper strips are placed into the gingival sulcus for 30 seconds, then stored at -80°C until analysis. Analysis of TNF-α levels in gingival crevicular fluid (GCF) will be performed using ELISA.
TNF-α analysis in Serum
The intervention will involve venous blood collection for serum analysis. Venous blood will be drawn, allowed to clot, will be centrifuged at 3,000 rpm for 10 minutes, and will be stored at -80°C until analysis.

Periodontal assesment
Comprehensive periodontal assessments will be conducted, including Plaque Index (PI), Bleeding on Probing (BOP), Probing Pocket Depth (PPD), and Clinical Attachment Level (CAL).
