Abstract The clinical results achieved were comparable when 10 patients requiring gingivectomies were divided in two groups ie one with periodontal dressing and another without periodontal dressing during first post operative week. Initial pre operative conditions were comparable. In each of the two treatments, intragroup comparison demonstrated highly significant reduction in pocket depths, Plaque index(p≤.010) and gingival index(p≤.003) from base line to 1 month whereas distance from stent to gingival(S-GM) remained stable from baseline to 1 month. Inter group comparison showed no statistically significant difference. Top |
