Primary Outcome Measures

Gingivitis Scores
Gingivitis scale (Loe & Silness Gingival Index) Units on a scale 0 to 3 (0 = no inflammation, 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)
