Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Alteration of periodontal pocket depth. Timepoint: Before the study and on thirthieth and ninetieth days. Method of measurement: Comparing plaque index, gingival index and probing depth in every stage of treatment. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Treatment of patients with chronic periodontitis. Timepoint: Clinical parameters including plaque index, gingival index, and probing depth were measured at the begining of study - before SRP - and also after thirty and ninety days in both quadrants. The changes of pocket depth, gingival index and plaque index were measured thirty and ninety days after the base line and variations of test and control sites were compared. Method of measurement: Comparing plaque index, gingival index and probing depth in every stage of treatment. | — |
