Periodontitis Oral Health
Conditions
Interventions
Each patient will receive an initial complete full-mouth clinical examination, excluding wisdom teeth (baseline assessment). Periodontal examinations will be performed in the clinic setting with stand
stage II (moderate) periodontitis
stage III and stage IV (severe and very severe) periodontitis. Cases that do not meet periodontitis case definition criteria will be classified as either gingivitis or periodontally healthy cases.

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Measured at baseline and follow up: 1. Probing depth (PD) is measured using a periodontal probe at six sites per tooth 2. Gingival recession (GR) is measured using a periodontal probe at six sites per tooth 3. Clinical attachment loss (CAL) is measured using a periodontal probe at six sites per tooth 4. Gingival Bleeding Index (GBI) is measured using the presence of bleeding upon probing at four sites per tooth and calculated as a percentage of bleeding sites over total sites 5. Oral Hygiene Index (IHI) is measured using the presence of visible dental plaque at four sites per tooth and calculated as a percentage of plaque-positive sites over total sites 6. Change in total probing depth (PD) is measured using a periodontal probe at six sites per tooth and compared between intervention groups | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Measured at baseline and follow up: 1. Total probing depth (PD) is measured using a periodontal probe at six sites per tooth, calculating the average of all sites evaluated 2. Interproximal probing depth (PD) is measured using a periodontal probe at six sites per tooth, calculating the average of interproximal sites evaluated 3. Total clinical attachment loss (CAL) is measured using a periodontal probe at six sites per tooth, calculating the average of all sites evaluated 4. Interproximal clinical attachment loss (CAL) is measured using a periodontal probe at six sites per tooth, calculating the average of interproximal sites evaluated 5. Count of total probing depths equal to 5 mm is measured using a periodontal probe at six sites per tooth, summing the number of sites with PD = 5 mm 6. Count of interproximal probing depths equal to 5 mm is measured using a periodontal probe at six sites per tooth, summing the number of interproximal sites with PD = 5 mm 7. Count of total probing depths greater than or equal to 6 mm is measured using a periodontal probe at six sites per tooth, summing the number of sites with PD = 6 mm 8. Count of interproximal probing depths greater than or equal to 6 mm is measured using a periodontal probe at six sites per tooth, summing the number of interproximal sites with PD = 6 mm 9. Oral Hygiene Index (IHI) score is measured using a dental plaque detector at four sites per tooth, calculated as the percentage of plaque-positive sites over total sites 10. Gingival Bleeding Index (GBI) score is measured using a periodontal probe at four sites per tooth, calculated as the percentage of bleeding sites over total sites | — |
