Summary

The aim of this study is to evaluate the relationship between the severity of Pemphigus Vulgaris (a chronic autoimmune skin disease) and periodontal (gum) health. Researchers will assess disease activity using the Oral Disease Severity Score (ODSS) for mouth lesions and measure serum Desmoglein 1 and 3 levels through blood tests. These findings will be compared with clinical gum measurements, such as pocket depth and attachment levels. The study intends to determine how the clinical and biochemical severity of Pemphigus Vulgaris impacts periodontal tissues and overall oral health.

Conditions

• Pemphigus Vulgaris (PV)
• Periodontal Diseases

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
OTHER	Clinical Periodontal and Oral Evaluation	"Participants will undergo a comprehensive oral examination. The severity of oral mucosal involvement will be recorded using the Oral Disease Severity Score (ODSS). Clinical periodontal parameters, including Probing Pocket Depth (PPD) and Clinical Attachment Level (CAL), will be measured at six sites per tooth using a periodontal probe. Additionally, current serum Desmoglein 1 and 3 levels will be retrieved from the patients' medical records for clinical correlation."
