Study Summary

To characterize the expression of Interferon gamma inducible protein 16 (IFI16) and Absent in melanoma 2 (AIM2) in gingival tissues in an inflammatory response using an acrylic mouthguard (also referred to as a stent) induced bacteria overgrowth method. Participants: A maximum of 72 Adult subjects will be recruited from the patients, students and staff at the University of North Carolina, as well as the general population in or near Chapel Hill NC. Procedures (methods): Medical history, demographics, (height/weight), urine based pregnancy test, vital signs (to include blood pressures, and pulse) standard dental clinical measures (to include plaque index, gingival index, bleeding on probing, and clinical attachment level), alginate impressions taken for fabrication of an acrylic stent (mouthguard), 2 gingival biopsies, 2 subgingival (below the gumline) plaque samples, and Scaling Root planing (SRP)/or adult prophylaxis

Primary Outcome

Gingival tissues derived from study participants were evaluated for AIM2 mRNA expression at baseline (experimental timepoint named Day 0) and at 21 days (experimental timepoint named Day 21). Gene expression was evaluated by quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) and quantified by the delta-delta-CT method.
