Patients will undergo subgingival scaling employing a Piezoelectric ultrasonic scaler to eliminate local factors.

gingival index will be calibrated using William's probe approximately 1 to 2 mm to the margin of the gingiva at an angulation of 45 degree to document the gingival inflammation signs of the upper six anterior teeth. Each of the four surfaces of the anterior teeth (buccal, lingual, mesial, and distal) will be given a score from 0 to 3 and then areas were added and divided by four to give the accurate GI of each tooth.

Score 0 = No signs of inflammation, bleeding, or swelling. Score 1= Presence of signs of mild inflammation, slight edema, and color change but no bleeding.

Score 2 = Presence of moderate inflammation, redness, swelling, and bleeding on probing.

Score 3 = Presence of severe inflammation, marked redness, edema, and spontaneous bleeding.

PI will be measured to record soft deposit accumulations on the upper six anterior teeth. Each of the four surfaces of the anterior teeth (buccal, lingual, mesial, and distal) will be given a score from 0 to 3 and then areas were added and divided by four to give the accurate PI of each tooth.

Sore 0 = No plaque. Score 1 = A film of plaque adhering to the free gingival margin and adjacent area of the tooth. The plaque may be seen in situ only after using the probe on the tooth surface (not seen by the naked eye).

Score 2 = Moderate accumulation of soft deposits within the gingival pocket, or the tooth and gingival margin, which can be seen with the naked eye.

Score 3 = Abundance of soft deposits within the gingival pocket and/or on the tooth and gingival margin that covers the interdental areas.
