Measure	Time frame
Plaque Index and Gingival Index. Timepoint: Once at the beginning of the work, once on the 7th intervention day and once on the 14th intervention day. Method of measurement: The plaque index is identified at each stage using a fuchsin tablet that is chewed in the mouth for 1 minutes. This index is measured in accordance with the Quigley-Hein Turesky modification index. In this way, the buccal and lingual (palatal) surfaces of all teeth are first obtained according to the following numbers and their average is considered as the index of each tooth. By summing the indices of all teeth and dividing them by the number of teeth, the plaque index in the patient is calculated. Based on the number of license plates, one of the following six points is considered for each level:Score zero: the surface is without plates. Score 1: Plaque should be scattered in the cervical part of the tooth. Score 1: The plaque should be in the form of a thin continuous line with a maximum thickness of 1 mm in the cervical tooth. Score 1: Plaque more than 2 mm thick but less than one third of the tooth crown is covered. Score 1: The plaque is more than one third thick but less than two thirds of the tooth crown. Score 2: Plaque covers two-thirds or more of the tooth crown.The gingival index is recorded by the examiner by observing the appearance of the gingiva and also by using the Williams probe. The loe & silness method is used to examine the gingival index (Gingival index GI). The gingiva of each tooth are divided into 4 parts: mesiobuccal papilla, distobuccal papilla, midbuccal gingival margin and midlingual gingival margin and then evaluated and based on the results obtained, they are given one of the following four points:Score 0: If the gingiva have a normal appearance and are free of inflammation and bleeding. Score 1: low inflammation, slight discoloration, low edema, no bleeding during probing. Probing. Score 3: Severe inflammation, marked redness, edema and hypertrophy, ulcers and sp	—
