Table 2.
Intragroup differences for clinical periodontal parameters from baseline to the final examination.
| Oral Parameter | Time | Mean (Standard Deviation) | (95%Conf. Interval) | Intra- p-Value (Baseline vs. End) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| PI | Baseline | 0.49 (0.33) | 0.34–0.65 | 0.0969 |
| End | 0.42 (0.27) | 0.29–0.55 | ||
| GI | Baseline | 0.68 (0.28) | 0.55–0.82 | 0.1814 |
| End | 0.62 (0.23) | 0.51–0.73 | ||
| BOP | Baseline | 0.29 (0.09) | 0.24–0.33 | 0.2601 |
| End | 0.27 (0.11) | 0.22–0.32 | ||
| PPD | Baseline | 2.25 (0.22) | 2.15–2.36 | 0.2743 |
| End | 2.19 (0.17) | 2.11–2.27 | ||
| CAL | Baseline | 2.59 (0.41) | 2.40–2.78 | 0.8156 |
| End | 2.60 (0.40) | 2.41–2.79 | ||
| PISA | Baseline | 370.1 (141.5) | 303.9–436.4 | 0.2545 |
| End | 341.3 (149.0) | 271.5–411.1 |
PI = plaque index; GI = gingival index; BOP = bleeding on probing; PPD = pocket probing depth; CAL = clinical attachment level; PISA = periodontal inflamed surface area. With regard to the anthropomorphic data and physical activity, body weight and BMI showed a significant decrease from baseline to the end (Table 3). Regarding the fat mass, there was a trend towards lower values at the final examination.
