Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Attachment level change from pre- to 6 months postoperatively (measurement with a rigid, millimeter-scaled periodontal probe at 6 sites/tooth from the cemento-enamel junction to the bottom of the respective pocket)

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
- mean probing depths (measurement with a rigid, millimeter-scaled periodontal probe at 6 sites/tooth from the marginal gingiva to the bottom of the respective pocket) preoperatively and 6 months postoperatively as well as their changes - bleeding on probing at 6 sites/tooth (dichotomous assessment 20 seconds after measuring the probing depths) preoperatively and 6 months postoperatively as well as their changes - Gingiva or Plaque Index (smearing the marginal gingiva with a blunt periodontal probe and subsequent categorical evaluation with codes 0 to 4) preoperatively and 6 months postoperatively as well as their changes - occurrence of complications (pain that made it necessary to take an analgesic for >2 days, infection process in the form of an edema, infiltrate or abscess after the first postoperative edema had already subsided, wound dehiscence after visual control, secondary bleeding, nerve damage) over the follow-up period - preoperative categorization of the retention type (impacted or retained) on the basis of routine X-ray images - patient-related outcomes (questionnaire)
