Brief Summary   To compare the efficacy of swabbed and spit saliva samples at 4°C and room temperature for the detection of red complex bacteria (Porphyromonas gingivalis, Tannerella forsythia, and Treponema denticola) and salivary inflammatory markers (IL6, TNF-α, NF-κB) in individuals diagnosed with periodontitis. Swabbed saliva will be collected by keeping the swab in the lingual vestibule, below the tongue, for 20 s. Spit saliva will be collected by asking the participant to expectorate into a sterile container. Saliva samples will be processed for the detection of red complex bacteria (P. gingivalis, T. forsythia, and T. denticola) & salivary inflammatory markers (IL6, TNF-α, NF-κB) using Multiplex RT-PCR test kits.
