Clinical Trial Summary

the summary is to evaluate The Effect of Low-Level Laser Therapy as an Adjunct to Non-surgical Therapy on Inducible Nitrous Oxide Synthase Salivary Levels in Different Age Groups of Chronic Periodontitis Patients

Description:

2 ml of unstimulated saliva will be collected using spitting method, the collected samples will then be analyzed using Elisa technique for salivary Inducible nitrous oxide synthase levels.

Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Primary	clinical parameters (gingival index)	measurement if the gingival index using scoring system. A score from 0.1-1.0 = mild inflammation; 1.1-2.0 = moderate inflammation from, and 2.1-3.0 signifies severe inflammation.	6 months
Primary	clinical parameters (clinical attachment loss)	measurement of clinical parameters clinical attachment loss in millimeters	6 months
Secondary	assessment of inducible nitrous oxide synthase levels	measurement of inducible nitrous oxide synthase levels in different age groups before the procedure and after using Elisa kit.	3 months
