Abstract
: MINST treatment was more effective in reducing median periodontal outcomes at 12-month follow-up than the conventional approach. Across 12-months follow-up, the overall PPD reduction was significantly influenced by a high number of cigarettes/day, erratic/non-compliance supportive treatment, high no. pockets ≥ 4 mm BoP+, number of pockets 4-5 mm, number of pockets ≥ 6 mm, and by high FMBS.
