Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Pain/Burning. Timepoint: Baseline, 7, 14 days after starting chemotherapy period. Method of measurement: Visual Analogue Scale.;Probing Depth. Timepoint: Baseline, 7, 14 days after starting chemotherapy period. Method of measurement: The distance measured from the base of the pocket to the most apical point on the gingival margin.;Plaque Index. Timepoint: Baseline, 7, 14 days after starting chemotherapy period. Method of measurement: The plaque index quantitatively assesses the amount of dental plaque visible on the surfaces of all teeth, except the third molars.;Gingival Index. Timepoint: Baseline, 7, 14 days after starting chemotherapy period. Method of measurement: The Gingival Index (GI) scores each site on a 0 to 3 scale, with 0 being normal and 3 being severe inflammation characterized by edema, redness, swelling, and spontaneous bleeding.;Bleeding on probing (BoP). Timepoint: Baseline, 7, 14 days after starting chemotherapy period. Method of measurement: Visual evaluation of bleeding.
