Brief summary
The aim of this clinical study was to evaluate the clinical efficacy of using perio flow adjunctively with mechanical instrumentation on periodontal parameters and halitosis. Sixty patients who presented with 4-6-mm probing pocket depth (PPD) were recruited for the study. Patients were randomly assigned to glycine powder air-polishing (GPAP) or control groups. For both groups PPDscores were recorded at the baseline and 1 month. Volatile sulphur compound (VSC) values were measured by a halimeter at the baseline, immediately after treatment, and at 7 days, 14 days and 1 month.

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Periodontal Pocket Depth (PPD) | 30 day. | PD were evaluated:at the follow-up sessions by the investigator with by marking a point on a 10 mm periodontal probe. |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| halimeter values. | 30 day. | The changes of Volatile Sulphure Compaunds by were evaluated with Halimeter Device at the follow-up sessions by the investigator. The Halimeter reads out in parts-per-billion (ppb) of volatile sulfur compounds. |
