Primary outcomes
- Gingival Index — 6 weeks
1 = Mild inflammation-slight change in color and little change in texture 2 = Moderate inflammation-moderate glazing, redness, edema and hypertrophy. Tendency to bleed upon probing. 3 = Severe inflammation-marked redness and hypertrophy. Tendency to spontaneous bleeding - EIBI Bleeding Score: Eastman Indterdental Bleeding Index Scale — 6 weeks
0 = no bleeding or 1=spontaneous bleeding. Both upper and lower gums around each tooth in the mouth are checked for bleeding sites . The total number of 0 \& 1 scores are added together and then divided by the total number of sites in the mouth evaluated to give the average number of bleeding sites in the mouth. - Plaque Index (Quigley-Hein Score) — 6 weeks
Units on a scale 0 to 5 (0 = no plaque, 1 = separate flecks of plaque on the tooth, 2 = a thin continuous band of plaque, 3 = a band of plaque up to one-third of the tooth, 4 = plaque covering up to two thirds of the of the tooth, 5 = plaque covering two-thirds or more of the crown of the tooth)
