Abbreviations BOP: bleeding on probing, IQR: interquartile rank, PD: probing pocket depth, CAL: clinical attachment level, T1: first (the lowest) tertile of intake, SD: standard deviation, T2: second tertile of intake, T3: third tertile (the highest) of intake
a, b,c, indicates statistical differences between tertiles when they are different
