Assessment of Periodontal Therapy and Biofilm Management in Breast Cancer

All patients received oral hygiene instructions (interproximal cleaning with floss and interdental brushes, brushing instructions on the Bass technique). The patients were also encouraged to brush the back of the tongue once a day. Subsequently, all patients underwent supragingival scaling, prophylaxis, and polishing. Supragingival scaling was performed using manual instruments (Gracey curettes) and an ultrasonic device.
