| Differences in the subgingival biofilm microbial community between groups, assessed by metrics of alpha and beta diversity and compared by statistical tests considering an alpha = 5%. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Differences in probing depth (measurement of the distance from the gingival margin to the clinically detectable base of the groove / periodontal pocket) between groups, measured using the millimeter probe at the time of clinical evaluation, and compared by statistical tests considering an alpha = 5%.;Differences in bleeding on probing (measurement of gingival bleeding after periodontal probing) between groups, assessing the presence or absence of bleeding, and compared by statistical tests considering an alpha = 5%. | — |
