Periodontal Phenotype and Scaling and Root Planing

Clinical Evaluation of Impact of Periodontal Phenotype on the Outcome of Scaling and Root Planing in Patients With Periodontitis: A Comparative Interventional Study

Periodontal phenotype has been recognized as one of the key factors that may potentially impact the outcome of a variety of periodontal surgical and non-surgical procedures. Taking into consideration the inconsistent findings of the studies done in this regard,outcomes of scaling and root planing with respect to periodontal phenotype.

With this aim, the present study would be conducted to assess the influence of periodontal phenotype on outcome of scaling and root planing in periodontitis patients.

AIM: To evaluate the influence of periodontal phenotype on the outcomes of scaling and root planing in periodontitis patients.

OBJECTIVES:

To assess the improvement in pocket probing depth (PPD), clinical attachment level (CAL), bleeding in pocket probing (BOPP), bleeding on marginal probing (BOMP), gingival marginal position (GMP), gingival recession (GR), plaque index (PI), and gingival index (GI) after scaling and root planing (SRP) in periodontitis patients with thin or thick periodontal phenotype.

SETTING: Department of periodontics and oral implantology, PGIDS, Rohtak, Haryana.

STUDY DESIGN: Comparative Interventional study.

Inclusion Criteria:

• Systemically healthy patients with periodontitis (periodontitis stage 2 and stage 3) and thin/thick periodontal phenotype in maxillary and mandibular incisors will be included.

Exclusion Criteria:
