Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| To assess the correlation between levels of tooth brushing-induced gingival bleeding (BIGB) and that of gingival bleeding on probing (BOP). | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |

| Secondary endpoints include significant difference in BIGB level when gingivitis is diagnosed based on BOP 10% or 30%, cutoff value, respectively. The sensitivity and specificity by ROC analysis, correlation between BIGB positive tooth % and BOP positive site %, etc. will be also investigated. | — |
