Background
Mucin and total protein in saliva play a crucial role in maintaining oral homeostasis and modulating inflammatory responses
in periodontal disease. However, their variations before and after nonsurgical periodontal therapy (NSPT) remain unclear.
This study aims to assess mucin and total protein levels in patients with chronic periodontitis before and after NSPT and to
evaluate their potential as biomarkers for periodontal disease progression and treatment response.
