Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Periodontal probing depth (PPD) measured using a periodontal probe at baseline and 3 months post-therapy | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| 1. FMPS (full mouth plaque score), FMBS (full mouth bleeding score), CAL (clinical attachment loss), PD (probing depth), GR (gingival recession) measured using a periodontal probe at baseline and 3 months post-therapy 2. Quantitative evaluation of bacterial pathogens will be performed at baseline and three months post-therapy, from sites with the highest PPD (probing pocket depth), using PCR testing 3. MMP-8 and IL-1 analysis in samples of gingival crevicular fluid collected from the site with the deepest probing depth measured using dento-ELISA immunoassay at baseline and three months post-treatment and sent to the laboratories of the University Department of Biochemistry at UMVBT 9. To histologically assess the inflammatory status, gingival biopsies will be harvested from areas posing no esthetic or functional risk using micro-tissue punches and will be analyzed at baseline and three months post-treatment, to determine the amount of inflammatory cells and to describe the characteristics of intercellular substance to the clean and seal protocol | — |
