The P value is considered significant, for P<0.05. NASH – Nonalcoholic steatohepatitis; AST – Aspartate aminotransferase; ALT – Alanine aminotransferase; SR – Success rate; IQR – Interquartile range; CAP – Controlled attenuation parameter; TNF-α – Tumor necrosis factor-alpha; IL6 – Interleukin-6; CRP – C-reactive protein; CK18 – Cytokeratin-18; PD – Pocket depth; CAL – Clinical attachment loss; BOP – Bleeding on probing; OHIS – Oral hygiene index simplified; P – P-value or probability value
