Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| To evaluate the plaque index on dental surfaces, which will be verified by the percentage of tooth surfaces with plaque deposits stained with evidencing solution and it is expected to find a reduction in this plaque index;To evaluate the pocket depth on probing, which will be verified using a periodontal probe, after 90 days of non-surgical periodontal therapy, it is expected to find a reduction in this probing, with an expected depth equal to or less than 3 mm | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| To assess the presence of bleeding on probing, which will be verified at the time of probing with the use of the periodontal probe, it is expected that, after 90 days of non-surgical periodontal therapy, there will be no bleeding on probing | — |
