Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
It is expected to find better results of probing depth, clinical attachment level, bleeding on probing and radiographic bone density in the test group 1 compared to the test group 2. Clinical parameters will be evaluated through appropriate clinical record, using a North Carolina periodontal probe, at baseline, at 3 and 6 months. Bone densiometric measurement will be performed through periapical radiographs using ImageJ software.;It is expected to find significant reductions in probing depth (PD), clinical attachment level (CAL) and bleeding on probing (BOP), in addition to better radiographic bone density, in the test groups compared to the control group. Clinical parameters will be evaluated through appropriate clinical records, using a North Carolina periodontal probe, at baseline, at 3 and 6 months.
