Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Periodontal pocket depth(PPD), bleeding index(BI) ,clinical attachment level(CAL). Timepoint: Before intervention and 1 and 3 months after intervention. Method of measurement: PPD is measured in millimeters from the free gingival margin to the base of the periodontal pockets using a manual periodontal probe. BI was defined as the presence or absence of bleeding 30 seconds after probing (±). CAL is also defined as the distance (mm) from cementoenamel junction (CEJ) to the bottom of the pockets.
