Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- 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).
- 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)
