| 1. Clinical attachment loss is measured using a UNC-15 probe to the nearest mm on all six sites of each tooth at baseline, 3 months, 6 months and 9 months. 2. Bleeding on probing will be recorded using the Sulcus Bleeding Index (SBI) at baseline, 3 months, 6 months and 9 months. A Graduated University of North California (UNC-15) probe will be used to probe the pocket up until the bottom on four sites of tooth surfaces (the labial, lingual, mesial and distal sites). Then, the bleeding on probing score will be recorded separately on every four sites according to the sulcus bleeding index score as above. Bleeding on probing score of the individual tooth gain by adding all the bleeding scores on four sites, divided by four and the bleeding score for an individual gain by adding all the individual tooth scores, divided by the total number of teeth present. 3. Plaque index (PLI) recorded using Silness and Loe, 1967 index at baseline, 3 months, 6 months and 9 months. Four surfaces of each tooth will be evaluated (mesiobuccal, mid-buccal, dis-to-buccal and palatal) and given the score accordingly. To get the score for each tooth, all scores from the four areas will be added and divided by four. Finally, to get the individual plaque index, all the tooth scores will be added and divided by the number of teeth present 4. Gingival index recorded using Loe and Sillness 1967 index at baseline, 3 months, 6 months and 9 months. To assess the gingival index score, the qualitative changes of the gingiva soft tissue will be examined by direct vision and gentle probing using the UNC-15 probe up until the gingival crevice only. Each tooth will be evaluated at four sites; buccal, mesial, distal and lingual/palatal, and will be given a score according to the criteria listed. To get the score for an individual tooth, all the scores at the four sites will be added and divided by four. Meanwhile, for an individual score, all gingival index scores for each tooth will be added and divided by | — |
