Data given as mean±SD; p value by two way ANOVA. Same superscripts indicate that there is no statistically significant difference (p≥0.05), different superscripts indicate that the difference is statistically significant (p<0.001, p<0.05) CAL=Clinical Attachment Level; T0, therapy initiation; T3, 3 months after T0; T6, 6 months after T0.
