Primary outcome measure(s)
Plaque Index — Baseline, 6 weeks, and 12 weeks Assesses the amount of dental plaque visible on the vestibular and lingual surfaces of all teeth, except the third molars. The bacterial plaque developer solution was used to define cumulative amounts of plaque with criteria from 0 to 5. Once the values of the individual teeth are recorded, they are added and divided by the number of teeth examined to obtain the plaque index of each patient.
Gingival Index — Baseline, 6 weeks, and 12 weeks A method of recording the clinical severity of gingival inflammation. It is based upon probe measurement of periodontal pockets and on gingival tissue status.
Pocket Depth — Baseline, 6 weeks, and 12 weeks A measurement in millimeters of the depth from the gingival margin to the epithelial attachment in unhealthy gingival tissue. The pocket depth usually consists of depths great than 3 mm. pocket.
