Design outcomes

Primary

Measure	Time frame
Clinical Attachment Level (CAL) : The distance between the CEJ and the gingival groove in millimeters. Timepoint: At the beginning of the study, 3, 6 and 12 weeks after the intervention. Method of measurement: by periodontal probes.;Bleeding on probing (BOP): presence or absence of bleeding 30 seconds after mild probing in the buccal and lingual area of the tooth. Timepoint: At the beginning of the study, 3, 6 and 12 weeks after the intervention. Method of measurement: Presence or absence of bleeding and seeing it by clinician.;Probing pocket depth(PPD):the distance between the free gingiva to the end of gingival groove in millimeters. Timepoint: At the beginning of the study, 3, 6 and 12 weeks after the intervention. Method of measurement: by periodontal probes.;Percentage of BOP Total Oral Area. Timepoint: At the beginning of the study, 3, 6 and 12 weeks after the intervention. Method of measurement: Presence or absence of bleeding and seeing it by clinician and Counting the percentage of bleeding areas.	—
