- Not specified
- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method To assess the correlation between levels of tooth brushing-induced gingival bleeding (BIGB) and that of gingival bleeding on probing (BOP).
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Secondary endpoints include significant difference in BIGB level when gingivitis is diagnosed based on BOP 10% or 30%, cutoff value, respectively. The sensitivity and specificity by ROC analysis, correlation between BIGB positive tooth % and BOP positive site %, etc. will be also investigated.
