    Measured: baseline, after 4 weeks and after 8 weeks

  2. Change in gingival index

    gingival index: 0, normal gingiva, 1 mild inflammation- slight change in color, slight edema and bleeding on probing. 2 moderate inflammation - redness, edema and bleeding on probing. 3, sever inflammation - redness, edema, and tendency to spontaneous bleeding
