| Abstract | ||
| The aim of this study is to determine the differences in gingival inflammation and pocket depth in relation to the upper and lower jaws . 150 sites were selected with pocket that are more than 5 mm in depth in 9 patients suffering from chronic periodontitis. The pockets were measured by constructing a stent and grooves were cut in the sent. A William probe was used and a mark on the probe was made to measure the pocket depth (PD) from mark to the tip of the probe with a vernier . The patients were longitudinally followed in a sequence of 4 visits of one week interval .V1 represents the base line reading, V2 after O.H.I., V3 after scaling & V4 after root planning . At each visit the PD was recorded, in addition the GI was score .The results indicate an overall reduction in PD reading due to resolution of the inflammation, the effect is more pronounced on the buccal and lingual surface compared to proximal surface . This is true for each quadrant upper and lower jaws, left and right . | ||
