Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (3)

0 = Normal gingiva; 1 = Mild inflammation - slight change in colour, slight oedema. No bleeding on probing; 2 = Moderate inflammation - redness, oedema and glazing; bleeding on probing; 3 = Severe inflammation - marked redness and oedema. Ulceration. Tendency to spontaneous bleeding
6 months
Turesky Modification of the Quigley Hein Plaque Index
0 = No plaque; 1 = Separate flecks of plaque at the cervical margin of the tooth; 2 = A thin continuous band of plaque (up to one mm) at the cervical margin of the tooth; 3 = A band of plaque wider than one mm but covering less than one third of the crown of the tooth; 4 = Plaque covering at least one-third but less than two-thirds of the crown of the tooth; 5 = Plaque covering two-thirds or more of the crown of the tooth
6 months
Community periodontal index
0 = No periodontal disease; 1 = Bleeding on probing; 2 = Calculus with plaque seen or felt by probing.
