(A) Frequency distribution (n; %) of CAL gain at re‐evaluation after periodontal surgery and at the latest follow‐up evaluation of treatment outcomes according to either “conventional” probing measurements or COM outcome. (B) Evaluation of treatment outcomes according to either “conventional” clinical measurements (i.e., CAL, PD) or COM outcome
