Sponsor

Inonu University

Enrollment

30 participants

Start Date

Jan 15, 2026

Study Type

INTERVENTIONAL

Conditions

Gingivitis

Summary

The aim of this study is to evaluate the clinical, microbiological, and biochemical effects of Morus nigra (black mulberry) mouthwash when used as an adjunct to non-surgical periodontal treatment (scaling and root planing - SRP) in patients with generalized gingivitis. Participants will be randomly assigned to two groups: one receiving SRP only, and the other receiving SRP plus Morus nigra mouthwash twice daily for 14 days. Clinical parameters, cytokine levels in gingival crevicular fluid (TNF-alpha, IL-1beta, IL-10), and subgingival bacterial load will be assessed at baseline, 1 month, and 3 months.
