CPI: The data are presented as n (%).The categories of CPI were defined as: 0 = healthy gingiva; 1 = bleeding observed directly or by using a mouth mirror after probing; 2 = calculus detected during probing but with all of the black bands on the probe visible; 3 = pocket of 4 to 5 mm (gingival margin within the black band on the probe); 4 = pocket of 6 mm (black band on the probe was not visible); X = excluded sextant (< 2 teeth present)
