Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

  1. MGI [8 weeks]

    Modified Gingival Index- validated assessment of gingival health looking at inflammation based on 4-point range 0 (normal gingiva) to 4 (severe inflammation).

  2. GBI [8 weeks]

    Gingival Bleeding Index- validated assessment of gingival health looking at bleeding based on 2-point range 0 (Absence of bleeding) to 2 (Immediate bleeding)
