Clinical variables before and after CUSA treatment.
| Treated defects (n=14) | P value | ||
|---|---|---|---|
| Baseline post-FMUD (mean ± SD) | 6-month reevaluation after CUSA treatment (mean ± SD) | ||
| PPD (mm) | 8.6 ± 1.5 | 3.9 ± 1.4 | <0.01 |
| CAL (mm) | 11.1 ± 3.0 | 6.8 ± 1.9 | <0.01 |
| REC (mm) | 2.6 ± 2.1 | 2.8 ± 1.6 | =0.41 |
FMUD, full-mouth ultrasonic debridement; CAL, clinical attachment loss; REC, recessions; PPD, probing pocket depth. The last column shows the P value of the statistical analysis comparing baseline and reevaluation data (statistically significant: P < 0.05).
