d e Mean changes and 95% CI s were determined from linear regression models with 6 month change in HbA 1 c included as dependent variables, treatment group as an independent factor and the Clinical Site as a covariate; p values were based on t tests comparing mean changes between the two groups. Each periodontal measurement was evaluated on 6 sites of each tooth. A participant-based summary measurement was determined by first calculating an average of the six sites per tooth and then calculating an average for all teeth measured for that participant.
