Comparison of periodontal tissue and occlusal force at the initial visit and the reevaluation (n = 13).
| Initial | Reevaluation | P | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ave PPD (mm) | 3.1 ± 0.8 | 2.4 ± 0.6 | 0.0050 |
| Ave CAL (mm) | 3.5 ± 1.0 | 2.9 ± 1.0 | 0.0039 |
| ％BOP (＋) | 37.7 ± 25.5 | 16.5 ± 11.1 | 0.0022 |
| Ave PISA (mm2) | 636.6 ± 535.7 | 251.2 ± 187.4 | 0.0075 |
| Ave PESA (mm2) | 1381.3 ± 503.0 | 1039.6 ± 354.8 | 0.0107 |
| Ave occlusal force (N) | 210.4 ± 134.9 | 233.7 ± 96.6 | 0.3051 |
Ave PPD: Probing pocket depth.
Ave CAL: Clinical attachment level.
%BOP(+): Bleeding on probing as a percentage of the measured area.
Ave PISA: The periodontal inflamed surface area.
Ave PESA: The periodontal epithelial surface area.
Ave occlusal force: Occlusal forces were measured using a Dental Prescale®.
Values are presented as mean ± standard deviation.
