Effect of Novel Oral Hygiene Regimen on Non-surgical Treatment of Stage II and III Periodontitis

The treatment process is identical for both test and control groups except for the methods of oral hygiene instructions. In the control group, the participants will receive the following oral hygiene instructions at completion of debridement, at week-1 and week-3. In the test group, apart from the standard oral hygiene instructions at completion of debridement, at week-1 and week-3 , additional analysis of brushing data and provision of targeted brief interventions will be provided on a daily basis for the first week, 3 times/week until week 6 and once a week thereafter until 6 months after the debridement.
