The treatment will be repeated 4 times in two weeks, followed by dental prophylaxis every 15 days until accomplish 3 months. The follow-up will be done for 6 months. The clinical parameters measured will be: plaque index, pocket depth, bleeding on probing, relative clinical insertion level and suppuration. In addition, the evaluation of crevicular fluid volume and the levels of IL-1, TNF-α, subgingival microbiota by the hybridization DNA-DNA Checkerboard technique. The investigators expect to find identical or better results for the test group.
