| Methods |
RCT |
| Participants |
34 pregnant women aged between 15 and 43 years who had at least 4 teeth with probing depth ≥ 4 mm or clinical attachment loss ≥ 3 mm, with bleeding on probing in the same place |
| Interventions |
Group 1 received supra and subgingival scaling associated with oral hygiene orientation (OHO) and Group 2 received only supragingival scaling with OHO |
| Outcomes |
Probing depth, clinical attachment level, hyperplasia, recession, bleeding, presence of plaque and tooth mobility on a standardized form. Quantitative parameters were evaluated at 6 sites per tooth: mesio/medium/distobuccal and mesio/medium/distolingual through millimetre periodontal probe‐type Williams. The bleeding and the presence of plaque in dichotomous variables were measured: present and absent. All patients received oral hygiene orientation |
