Name Time Method BLEEDING ON MARGINAL PROBING (BOMP) ¨C Angular Bleeding Index (Van der Weijden 1994).<br /><br>This score will be scored on the pre-experimental phase, baseline and at the final examination (after 4 months)<br /><br>The gingiva is lightly dried with compressed air and lightly probed with a probe. The probe is inserted into the gingival crevice to a depth of approximately 2mm or until slight resistance is felt. The probe is run gently along the marginal gingival holding the probe at a an angle of approximately 60 degrees to the longitudinal axis of the tooth and in contact with the sulcular epithelium. Minimum axial force is used to avoid undue penetration in the tissue. The probe is moved around the crevice gently stretching the epithelium. A bleeding score is given to six gingival areas of the tooth. These are the disto-vestibular, vestibular, mesio-vestibular, disto-lingual, lingual and the mesio-lingual regions. <br>
