Inclusion criteria
Inclusion criteria: Periodontitis Stages II-IV Grades B and C, generalized: for Stages II-IV (case definition): present at least 1 tooth with at least one interproximal site with a probing depth greater than or equal to 5 mm and attachment loss greater than or equal to 4 mm. For Grade B: have a report of attachment loss of less than 2 mm in the last 5 years or have a bone loss/age percentage (of the most affected tooth) . between 0.25 and 1. For Grade C: have a report of attachment loss greater than or equal to 2 mm in the last 5 years or have a bone loss/age percentage (of the most affected tooth) greater than 1. Present a minimum of 15 teeth (excluding third molars and teeth indicated for extraction). Minimum of 6 teeth with at least 1 non-contiguous interproximal site with a probing depth greater than or equal to 5 mm and a clinical attachment level greater than or equal to 4 mm. Both sexes. Age greater than or equal to 30 years.
Exclusion criteria
Exclusion criteria: Smokers of at least 10 cigarettes/day for at least 5 years; former smokers for at least 5 years; pregnant or lactating; history of periodontal treatment in the last 6 months; continuous use of oral antiseptics; use of systemic antibiotics, corticosteroids, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, immunosuppressants, estrogen, and estrogen receptor modulators; medications that may influence bone metabolism (alendronate, calcitonin, and others) in the last 6 months; systemic disease that may alter the host response to periodontal treatment (e.g., diabetes) or that requires prophylactic medication for dental treatment (e.g., mitral valve prolapse); use of orthodontic appliances; extensive prosthetic rehabilitation and blood dyscrasias; patients with motor limitations that have a significant impact on biofilm self-control (e.g., patients with stroke sequelae)
