      <study_design>Randomization: Randomized, Blinding: Triple blinded, Placebo: Not used, Assignment: Parallel, Purpose: Prevention, Randomization description: Sealed envelopes are considered as the number of patients, whose content determines which group each person belongs to. One of these envelopes is selected for each patient by lottery, and then this envelope is opened and the allocation of the patient will be determined after opening the envelopes, Blinding description: In this study, the gums of all three groups are similar to each other and only the code assigned to them is different. Participants, clinical examiners, researchers, and laboratory personnel who have access to the collected samples and data, as well as the person performing the statistical analysis will be blinded to the coding of the groups until the disclosure of the codes after statistical analysis.</study_design>
