Design
-
The number of 45 patients in this clinical trial study with a control group and parallel groups without blinding, who referred to the periodontology department of Qom Dental School for scaling and root planning, were divided into 3 groups based on the entry and exit criteria by randomization using the 4 and 6 blocks method. they turn
Group 1: 15 patients receiving ultrasonic SRP + Listerine mouthwash twice a day for ten days.
Group 2: 15 patients receiving ultrasonic SRP + chlorhexidine mouthwash twice a day for ten days.
Group 3: 15 patients who receive only ultrasonic SRP (without mouthwash)
