Clinical Trial Summary

The aim of the research will be to compare periodontal status and level of antioxidants in unstimulated saliva of systemic sclerosis patients with periodontitis and systemically healthy periodontitis patients.

Twenty systemic sclerosis patients with periodontitis (SS group) and twenty systemically healthy periodontitis patients (P group) will be enrolled in the present study. The results may indicate higher periodontal destruction and antioxidant perturbations in unstimulated saliva of systemic sclerosis patients with periodontitis compared to systemically healthy periodontitis patients.

Intervention

Diagnostic Test:
• periodontal examination's and determination of salivary antioxidants
Periodontal parameters such probing depth (PD), clinical attachment level (CAL) and gingival margin level has been recorded on six sites of each tooth using a manual periodontal probe. The degree of gingival inflammation has been assessed using the Loe and Silness (LSGI) gingival index. Activity of antioxidants in unstimulated saliva (GPX, SOD, UA) has been determined using the colorimetric method and commercial kits.
