Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| 1.Probing depth (PD) is measured using a manual PCP UNC 15 periodontal probe (Hu-Friedy, Chicago, IL, USA), calibrated in 1 milimeter increments at baseline, 3 months and 6 months. 2.Number of deep periodontal pockets i.e. pockets with PD = 5 mm is counted at baseline, 3 months and 6 months. Pockets that were PD = 5 mm at baseline and become PD <5mm are counted as ‘closed’ pockets. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| 1. Clinical attachment level gain (CAL) and gingival recession (GR) are measured using a manual PCP UNC 15 periodontal probe (Hu-Friedy, Chicago, IL, USA), calibrated in 1 milimeter increments at baseline, 3 months and 6 months. 2. Full mouth plaque score (FMPS) is measured using manual PCP UNC 15 periodontal probe (Hu-Friedy, Chicago, IL, USA), calibrated in 1 milimeter increments at baseline, 3 months and 6 months. Presence of plaque is checked on 6 surfaces of each tooth. 3. Full mouth bleeding on probing (FMBOP) is measured using a manual PCP UNC 15 periodontal probe (Hu-Friedy, Chicago, IL, USA), calibrated in 1 milimeter increments at baseline, 3 months and 6 months. Bleeding on probing is assesed in 6 points on every tooth. 4. Additionally at baseline, 1 week, 2 weeks, 3 months and 6 months gingival crevicular fluid is taken for labolatory analyses. | — |
