Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Clinical attachement level (CAL) will be measured using the distance from cemento-enamel junction (CEJ), to the bottom of the pocket at six sites per tooth at baseline and after the 12-months follow-up period. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| 1. The total amount of bacteria in the mouth will be measured using the full Mouth Plaque Score (FMPS) at six sites per tooth at baseline and after the 12-months follow-up period. 2. Gingival bleeding will be measured using the full Mouth Bleeding Score (FMBS) at six sites per tooth at baseline and after the 12-months follow-up period. 3. Probing depth will be measured using the distance from the gingival margin to the bottom of the pocket at six sites per tooth at baseline and after the 12-months follow-up period. 4. Gingival recession will be measured using the distance from gingival margin to the cemento-enamel junction (CEJ) at six sites per tooth at baseline and after the 12-months follow-up period. 5. Gingival thickness (GT) in millimeters (mm) will be measured at a buccal location 1 mm apically to the bottom of the sulcus. 6. Probing bone level will be measured using the distance from the cemento-enamel junction (CEJ) to bone crest (BC). 7. Postoperative wound healing will be assessed by the early wound healing index (EHI) according to Wachtel et al 2003. | — |
