Periodontal disease is a chronic inflammatory condition associated with systemic diseases, highlighting the concept of periodontal medicine. This study aims to investigate the relationship between periodontal inflammation, oral lesions, and hepatitis B+D infection, with or without bulevirtide treatment. Oral-periodontal clinical parameters and targeted inflammatory biomarkers in saliva and gingival crevicular fluid will be evaluated in three groups: patients with hepatitis B+D receiving bulevirtide, patients with hepatitis B+D not receiving bulevirtide, and healthy controls.
