Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |

Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Presence or absence of radiographic bone loss on interproximal radiographs. Distances between the cementoenamel junction and the bone crest greater than 2 mm will be considered a periodontal bone loss. | — |
