PI, GI, and BOP for the teeth in the sextant adjacent to the third molar needing extraction; PD, EA–OS, and AC–CEJ for the second molar adjacent to the third molar needing extraction; repeated-measures ANOVA test, significance at P<0.05. PI: Plaque Index; GI: Gingival Index; BOP: Bleeding on probing; PD: Pocket depth; AC–CEJ: Alveolar bone crest and cementoenamel junction; EA–OS: Epithelial attachment and the adjacent second molar’s occlusal surface
