Brief Summary   Periodontal disease results from release of inflammatory mediators and the consequence is a significant breakdown of tooth supporting tissues, finally leading to tooth loss.  The interplay between periodontal pathogens and the inflammatory immune system leads to the development of chronic inflammation. The intensity, duration and resolution of inflammation depend on shifting balance between the activities of pro inflammatory cytokines and anti inflammatory cytokines during the periodontal inflammation. Cytokines are considered to play an important role in the initiation, progression and the host modulation of periodontal disease. Interleukin (IL)-12 regulates the balance between Th1 and Th2 cells by inducing naive T cells in a Th1-specific manner and stimulating T cells and natural killer cells to synthesize multiple pro inflammatory cytokines [Interferon (IFN)-γ, IL-1β, Tumour Necrosis Factor (TNF)-α, IL-8]. Failure to resolve inflammatory periodontal disease may be the result of an imbalance in both Th1/Th2 response and pro inflammatory and anti inflammatory cytokines. In humans, the major effect of IL-12 is to stimulate IFN-γ   production by Th1 cells and regulate the transition from an early innate immune response to an adaptive immune response. These T-helper type 1 (Th1), Th2 and monocyte which are derived from cytokines in gingival tissues, the  Gingival Crevicular Fluid (GCF) is  involved in periodontal inflammation. IL - 12   is  produced by  monocytes,  macrophages and neutrophils.IL - 12 is comprised of two disulphide – linked protein subunits designated p35 and p40, which are encoded by two different genes. Both subunits have to be produced within the same cell to obtain the biologically active dimmer designated p70 .  The importance of IL-12 is not limited to initiating an immune response, but may contribute to maintaining immunity because Th1 responses rapidly fade in the absence of IL-12. The presence or absence of IL-12 will then determine whether a Th1 or Th2 response predominates with periodontal disease progression. IL-12  has  multiple biological activities.  IL-12 might be potentially useful in distinguishing health from disease and monitoring periodontal disease activity. Lasers have been suggested as a new alternative for the treatment of periodontal therapy. They are used due to their antibacterial potential by direct ablation, thermal denaturation and destruction of bacterial cells. Diode lasers help to reduce subgingival microbiota thus providing sites for new connective tissue attachment. It also helps in the promotion of hemostasis, has detoxifying effects and enhances healing. the need of this study is to assess the levels of  IL-12 before and after
Non- surgical periodontal therapy and Sulcular Debridement with diode laser and to assess and compare these levels.
