The purpose of the present study is to identify the novel periodontal disease biomarkers using differentially expressed microRNA in the saliva. The severity of chronic periodontal diseases and the time of pre- and post-treatment are major classification criteria. The obtained data will secure the foundation for the development of a new non-invasive diagnostic methods for early diagnosis \& prognosis prediction of periodontal disease.
