Comparison of Subgingival Plaque Removal Using Hand Curettes, Magnetostrictive Ultrasonic Scalers and Air Polishing Devices (APD) with and without NaHCO3 Abrasive Powder (An in Vivo Study)
نویسندگان
چکیده
Background and aims. One important treatment objective of periodontal therapy is the removal of bacterial deposits and the arrest of disease progression. The aim of the present study was to compare subgingival plaque removal using hand curettes, magnetostrictive ultrasonic scalers and air-polishing devices (APD) with and without NaHCO3 abrasive powder. Materials and methods. In this controlled randomized clinical trial, all surfaces of 60 single-rooted hopeless teeth with untreated periodontitis were treated either by hand curettes, magnetostrictive ultrasonic scalers or APD with or without NaHCO3 abrasive powder. The teeth were extracted and stained in methylene blue in water solution. Digital images were captured under a microscope and depth of plaque removal was measured with image processing software. ANOVA and correlation tests were

متن کاملSubgingival plaque removal at interdental sites using a low-abrasive air polishing powder.
BACKGROUND The aim of the study was to test the efficacy of a novel low-abrasive air polishing powder in subgingival plaque removal at interdental sites during periodontal maintenance therapy (PMT). METHODS Using a split mouth design, subgingival plaque was removed in 23 PMT patients using a low abrasive powder using a standard air polishing unit (test) or curets (positive control). Before an...

Background and Aim: Toothbrushes cannot reach all interdental areas. Interdental cleaning is an important part of oral hygiene care. The purpose of this study was to compare the supragingival plaque removal efficacy of an interdental cleaning power device (Aquajet) and dental floss. Materials and Methods: Thirty subjects were enrolled in this single-blind, split mouth clinical trial. All the...

OBJECTIVES Ultrasonic scalers have become increasingly popular for subgingival debridement. The aim of the present study was to investigate the influence of different working tip designs (narrow versus wide) on root substance loss caused by either magnetostrictive or piezoelectric ultrasonic devices. METHODS In this in vitro study, a magnetostrictive ultrasonic system with either Slimline or ...
