Summary

This study aims to discover biological markers that can predict which people with mild gum inflammation will develop serious gum disease. Researchers will analyze saliva, tissue, and bacteria samples from 228 adults aged 18-40 with gingivitis or early-stage periodontitis. The goal is to use this information to create a simple test that identifies high-risk individuals before significant damage occurs.
