Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| The expected outcome is the reduction in the level of inflammatory markers in saliva. The method used to verify the expected outcome will be the evaluation of the level of Interleukin 1beta, Interleukin 6, Interleukin 8, Interleukin 10, Tumor Necrosis Factor and Interleukin 12p70 in saliva. The parameter to be used to evaluate the occurrence of the outcome will be a reduction of at least 50% in the level of the inflammatory cytokines. Clinical evaluations and saliva collection will be performed before and after treatment for gingivitis. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| The expected outcome is the reduction of the degree of gingivitis. The method used to verify the expected secondary outcome will be the evaluation of the Gingival Index. The parameter to be used to evaluate the occurrence of the outcome will be the verification of a reduction of 50% in the measurements before and after periodontal treatment. | — |
