- Different letters from a to e in each row represent an order of the averages from the lowest to the highest values and indicate statistically significant differences (p < 0.05) between the studied groups, [healthy sites (H); gingivitis sites (G); gingivitis sites in chronic periodontitis (PG); slight periodontitis sites (PSL); moderate periodontitis sites (PM); and severe periodontitis sites (PSE)], within each of the four periodontal parameters, including probing depth (PD), clinical attachment loss (CAL), gingival index (GI), and plaque index (PI).
