| A survey was carried out in which 26 volunteers, of both genders, were included. 20 women and 6 men. The age of the volunteers was between 21 and 59 years. The volunteers were allocated to two groups A and B. Where 13 patients were in group A and 13 patients in group B. It can be seen in the table above that there was significant improvement (G test, p = 0.0236) in 62% of the cases. of the motivation group in relation to the control group, which showed improvement in only 23.1% of the patients. This could be seen clinically, so that in the control group, of the 13 patients, 7 improved the SI and 5 improved the BI, while in the motivation group of 13 patients, only 1 did not improve the SI, 9 improved the BI. As for the diagnosis, in the control group, of the 13 patients, 3 improved, 9 remained in the same group and 1 got worse. Compared to the motivation group, there are clinical differences between the groups, whereas, of the 13 patients, 8 achieved improvement, including 1 patient who reached health status and only 5 remained in the same diagnosis. It was possible to observe that there were no statistically significant differences (two-way ANOVA, p> 0.05) between groups or between periods for bleeding (p = 0.67), biofilm (p = 0.58) and bag (p = 0.44). However, there was a relevant clinical improvement for the majority of patients in both groups, being more noticeable among patients who were subjected to a special motivation. Likewise, there were no statistically significant differences (two-way ANOVA, p> 0.05) between the groups for PSV (p = 0.68), PMG (p = 0.68) and NIC (p = 0.85). Taking into account that the time for reevaluation of patients with gingivitis was 21 days and that of patients with periodontitis was 45 days, it is clear that a longer time between reevaluations is necessary for there to be a more substantial result with regard to clinical parameters PSV, PMG and NIC. The effect of treatments on the number of bags at their different depths is shown i | — |
