Clinical Tests of an Ultrasonic Periodontal Probe
A new ultrasonic periodontal probe has been developed that offers the potential for earlier detection of periodontal disease activity, non-invasive diagnosis, and greater reliability of measurement. A comparison study of the ultrasonic probe to both a manual probe, and a controlled-force probe was conducted to evaluate its clinical effectiveness. Twelve patients enrolled into this study. Two ha...
متن کاملUltrasonic device for measuring periodontal attachment levels
Periodontal disease is manifested clinically by a degradation of the ligament that attaches the tooth to the bone. The most widely used diagnostic tool for assessment of periodontal diseases, measurement of periodontal attachment loss with a manual probe, may overestimate attachment loss by as much as 2 mm in untreated sites, while underestimating attachment loss by an even greater margin follo...
متن کاملPeriodontal Debridement with Sonic and Ultrasonic Scalers
Biofilm and calculus removal are very important components of periodontal therapy, and a variety of instruments may be used for debridement purposes. In recent years, the application range of sonic and ultra sonic scalers in such debridement procedures has been extended to the subgingival area as slim instrument tips allowing good access to the root surfaces have been developed. Treatment using...
متن کاملEnhanced periodontal debridement with the use of micro ultrasonic, periodontal endoscopy.
Current literature supports the use of powered instrumentation over traditional hand instrumentation. The objective of scaling and root planing is the complete removal of plaque and calculus from root surfaces. While this is unrealistic, the accepted end-point is a smooth, glassy root surface during periodontal instrumentation. This often has resulted in overinstrumentation and excessive remova...
متن کاملUltrasonic Periodontal Therapy - Benefits for the Patient and the Practice
The prevention of periodontal disease is a key factor in oral health. It has also become evident that periodontal health is associated with systemic health. Nonsurgical scaling and root planing is the standard of care for periodontitis. Supragingival plaque removal influences the bacterial environment in pockets up to 3 mm in depth, while subgingival scaling and root planing is essential in poc...
