Summary

The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate whether the Guided Biofilm Therapy (GBT) protocol can improve or maintain oral health and whether it provides more comfort to patients compared to a conventional protocol.

The study involved 25 adult patients aged 18 years or older, healthy, unmedicated, with more than 20 natural teeth, and no periodontitis.

Main Questions it Aims to Answer:

* Does the GBT protocol improve or maintain oral health compared to a conventional protocol?
* Is the GBT protocol more comfortable for patients than the conventional protocol? Comparison Group: Researchers compared the conventional protocol (used in quadrants I and III for Group A, and in quadrants II and IV for Group B) to the test GBT protocol (used in the opposite quadrants) to see if the GBT protocol results in improved clinical outcomes and better patient comfort.

Participants Will:

* Undergo two different protocols for oral prophylaxis (GBT and conventional protocols) on separate quadrants of their mouth.
* Have their clinical parameters assessed at three time points: baseline (T0), one week (T1), and three weeks (T2) after the intervention.
* Rate the comfort of the intervention using a Visual Analog Scale (VAS) on a Likert scale from 0 to 10 for each quadrant.
