  1. AgP, CP and H stand for aggressive periodontitis, chronic periodontitis and periodontal healthy, respectively.
  2. The mean probing depth, clinical attachment loss and bleeding on probing (%) were recorded in 255 sampling sites from 30 patients. * There were significant differences for mean probing depth, clinical attachment loss and bleeding on probing (%) between AgP or CP and H (P < 0.05), but there was no significant difference between AgP and CP.
