| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Number of test sites which do bleed after probing with a periodontal probe at baseline and six month after treatment with test or control treatment. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Reduction of probing pocket depth and of the clinical attachment level measured six month after initial treatment with test or control treatment.
