Summary

This study aims to better understand periodontitis and peri-implantitis by analyzing biological samples like plaque, saliva, and gum fluid from 219 participants. Researchers will compare samples from people with severe gum disease to those with healthy gums. The goal is to identify molecular markers that could lead to improved prevention, screening, and treatment.
