Article Synopsis
- The study explores the perception, interest, and barriers to practicing yoga among residents of Saudi Arabia, focusing on their stress levels.
- Conducted with 906 participants, mostly non-Saudi women aged 31-51, it found that many were aware of yoga's benefits but varied in their practice based on stress levels.

Background: Neutrophils continuously migrate into the oral cavity from various sources like gingival crevicular fluid and saliva both in health and in inflammation. The migration of the neutrophils into the various tissues and into the oral cavity occurs when the host microbial interplay tips the balance favoring the initiation of the inflammatory and immune reactions which depending on the amount of the microbial load results in the development of acute and chronic infections in the susceptible host.
Aim: The present study was designed to quantify and compare the oral salivary neutrophil levels in patients with gingivitis and chronic and aggressive periodontitis as well as in healthy controls, before and after scaling and root planing (SRP) and to compare the difference within the selected study groups.
