Comparison of the Efficacy of Conventional Versus Minimally Invasive Non-Surgical Periodontal Therapy in Periodontitis Patients

Condition(s) studied

Investigational drug(s) / intervention(s)

Mechanical debridement .: On the conventional non-surgical periodontal therapy side, a power-driven piezo•electric ultrasonic scaling device with scaling tips will be used the majority of the time to debride subgingival biofilm and calculus. and manual standard gracey curette instruments will be used to refine residuals from root surfaces.

minimally invasive mechanical debridement: Briefly. the root surface of teeth will be thoroughly debrided by a minimally invasive approach using specific thin and delicate piezo-electric scaling tips (Woodpecker � Tip P3. Am Perfect sp. z o .• � Poland) and manual miniature periodontal curettes {� Dent Solutions. Cairo. Egypt) for reducing periodontal tissue trauma. Adjunctive use of magnification loupes will be performed.

Study summary

the aim of this study is to investigate the clinical outcomes of Minimally Invasive Non-Surgical Therapy(MINST) compared to Conventional non-surgical periodontal therapy (CNST)

Eligibility

Primary outcome measure(s)

• Plaque index (PI) — basline, 1 month , 3 months
  1\. Plaque index (PI):The index assigns a score to each tooth based on the amount of plaque present. 0: No plaque is visible. 1. A thin film of plaque is present at the gingival margin (gumline) and can be detected with a probe. 2. Visible plaque along the gingival margin. 3. Heavy plaque accumulation in the gingival margin and interdental spaces.
• Bleeding on probing (BOP): — baseline, 1 month , 3 months
  ): "0" if no bleeding occurred within 10 second, and "1" if there was bleeding within 10 second.
• Probing pocket Depth (PPD) — baseline , 1 month , 3 month
  ): will be measured from the gingival margin to the base of the periodontal pocket.
• Clinical Attachment Level (CAL) — baseline ,1 month , 3 month
  will be measured from the cement-enamel junction to the base of the periodontal pocket.
