Full Mouth Ultrasonic Debridement Carried Out With Either Piezoelectric or Magnetostrictive Device
Condition(s) studied
Investigational drug(s) / intervention(s)
Full-mouth ultrasonic debridement with piezoelectric device (EMS, mini piezon): the use of ultrasonic oscillating tips allows supragingival and subgingival biofilm and dental calculus removal
Full-mouth ultrasonic debridement with magnetostrictive device (Cavitron Select, Dentsply): the use of ultrasonic oscillating tips allows supragingival and subgingival biofilm and dental calculus removal
Study summary
The treatment of periodontitis requires the removal of dental biofilm through both professional mechanical plaque removal and at-home oral hygiene practices. This study aims to compare clinical and psychological outcomes following professional treatment using either piezoelectric or magnetostrictive ultrasonic devices.
