Plaque Score (FMPS) and Full Mouth Bleeding Score (FMBS), recorded on 6 sites per tooth, were 66.7% and 64.8%, respectively (Figure 4). Periodontal examination revealed a generalized increased probing depths (Figure 5).

A considerable improvement of oral hygiene conditions was observed: FMPS and FMBS remained constantly <=25% and a period general reduction of probing depth (PD <= 4 mm) during the successive 6-month follow-up was recorded (Figures 7 and 8).
After 12-month follow-up period the periodontal probing show a PD of 3 mm.
