Probing Pocket Depth
The depth of probe penetration into the pocket (millimeters) is measured from the gingival margin using an UNC-15 probe.
Time frame: 24 weeks
Clinical Attachment Level
The distance from the base of the pocket to cemento-enamel junction (millimeters) is measured using an UNC-15 probe.
Time frame: 24 weeks
Full mouth plaque score
Turesky Modification of Quigley-Hein Index used to assess plaque buildup across all tooth surfaces (buccal, lingual, mesial, distal) with scoring 0 (no plaque) to 5 (heavy plaque)
Time frame: 24 weeks
Full mouth bleeding score
Probe is inserted and withdrawn at the distal point of the tooth and monitored for bleeding within 10 seconds. Registered with (+) availability of provoked bleeding and with (-) its absence.
Time frame: 24 weeks
Mean defect depth
measured as the distance fromt the alveolar crest to the base of the defect (in CBCT)
Time frame: 24 weeks
