Values are given by means ± Standard Deviation. M = male; F = female; Mean PD sites = Mean pocket depth of sites with PD > 4 mm; Mean PD all = mean PD of all sites; CAL = clinical attachment level of affected sites; BoP = bleeding on probing; PD site = Pocket depth from sampled site: DD = diseased site in LAP; DH = healthy site in LAP. ^†Statistically different from siblings and control children by ANOVA. ^‡ Statistically different from DH site by paired t test.
