Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Percentage of dental surfaces with plaque based on OLeary plaque control record following the use of mouthwash after periodontal surgery. Timepoint: Before intervention and seven days after initiation of mouthwash use following periodontal surgery. Method of measurement: Dental plaque is disclosed using a plaque disclosing agent and the percentage of tooth surfaces with plaque is calculated according to OLeary plaque control record by a calibrated examiner under standard clinical conditions.;Presence or absence of bleeding after periodontal surgery. Bleeding is defined as either self-reported spontaneous bleeding in the past 7 days or observation of active bleeding or fresh blood clot at the surgical site during clinical examination. Timepoint: Before surgery and 1 week after periodontal surgery. Method of measurement: Patient self-report questionnaire + clinical examination. Qualitative recording (Yes/No). If at least one condition is met, bleeding is recorded as "Yes".

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Periodontal wound healing evaluated quantitatively using the Early Healing Index (EHI) ranging from 1 to 4 based on multiple clinical items. Timepoint: 1 week after periodontal surgery. Method of measurement: Visual and clinical examination by blinded examiner; scoring according to EHI criteria.;Patient adherence to mouthwash regimen, calculated as percentage of actual use over 7 days. Timepoint: Daily recording for 7 days after surgery. Method of measurement: Patient self-reported questionnaire recording weekly and daily frequency of mouthwash use and duration of retention in the oral cavity.calculated as (actual doses taken / 7) × 100.;Patient satisfaction. Timepoint: 1 week after periodontal surgery. Method of measurement: Patient satisfaction assessed by combined quantitative and qualitative measures: - Quantitative: Visual analogue scale from 0 (completely dissatisfied) to 10 (completely satisfied). - Qualitative: Standardized questionnaire evaluating behavioral-attitudinal aspects (willingness to repurchase, recommend, or continue use).;Occurrence of any adverse events after intervention (Yes/No). Timepoint: 1 week after periodontal surgery. Method of measurement: Patient self-report questionnaire + clinical examination. Reporting as percentage of patients experiencing each adverse event.
