Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| The primary outcome is to achieve a mean reduction in pocket probing depth of 0.5mm (Stein et al., 2021; Wennström et al., 2005). For the purposes of analysis, teeth are divided into two categories: those with and without fixed dental restorations. Measuring instrument: Florida Probe (computerized periodontal probing) Time of measurement: before non-surgical periodontal therapy, 3 months and 6 months after non-surgical periodontal therapy | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| - measurement of marginal fit of crowns (Holmes et al., 1989) - median clinical attachment level - percentage of sites showing pocket probing depth 4.0mm - 5.9mm - percentage of sites showing pocket probing depth =6.0mm - median pocket probing depth - median gingival margin - median bleeding on probing - degree of furcation - plaque index - papilla bleeding index - periodontal inflamed surface area (PISA) - qualitative and quantitative bacterial load - antibiotic sensitivity testing (antibiogram) - specific blood parameters - specific inflammation indices | — |
