Brief Summary   This study elevates the correlation between Ghrelin and TNF -alpha in 3 groups 1. healthy 2. periodontitis with out obesity 3. periodontitis with obesity. Ghrelin has immunomodulatory functions and it is modulated by Periodontal bacteria, leading to increased TNF-alpha expression and Inflammation in periodontal tissue , especially in obesity related periodontitis. the objective of this study is to explore the possibility of using Ghrelin as a inflammatory biomarker in Stage III grade B period0ntitis
