Number of Participants With a PAI Score of < 3, = 3, or = 4 or 5

"The periapical index: A scoring system for radiographic assessment of apical periodontitis. Score of 1: Normal. Score of 2: Small changes in bone structure. Score of 3: Changes in bone structure with some mineral loss (bone loss). Score of 4: Periodontitis with well-defined radiolucent area (apical periodontitis). Score of 5: Severe Periodontitis with exacerbating features (apical periodontitis).~Healed is defined by absence of a radiographic indication of apical periodontitis (PAI <3) and absence of clinical signs and symptoms other than tenderness to percussion.~Healing is defined by a reduction of radiolucency (if radiolucency is present at Baseline) combined with the absence of clinical signs and symptoms other than tenderness to percussion."
