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...

In this paper, the author has reviewed the microbial & clinical impacts of the one-stage full-mouth disinfection and quadrant scaling root planing in Periodontics. Periodontal diseases are one of the most common in the oral cavity and have an infectious nature triggered by pathogenic microorganisms that first lead to gingivitis and may develop to periodontitis and, if not treated, to tooth loss...

Complete removal of calculus is a primary part of achieving a "biologically acceptable" tooth surface in the treatment of periodontitis. Rabbani et al. reported that a single episode of scaling did not completely remove subgingival calculus and that the deeper the periodontal pocket, the less complete the calculus removal. The purpose of the present study was to evaluate the effectiveness of sc...

Chronic periodontitis is a highly prevalent disease affecting mainly the middle aged population. Traditionally a lot of materials have been used as an adjunct to scaling and root planing for the treatment of periodontal disease with variable success. The present manuscript highlights the efficacy of a novel product, ozone nano bubble water (NBW3) in the treatment of periodontal disease, which c...

Background:The smear layer formation during root planing is a barrier for new attachment. Hence, various biomodification procedures, have been introduced to detoxify, decontaminate, and demineralise root surfaces, thereby, aiding in new attachment. So, there is a need to evaluate various root biomodifying agents. Materials and methods:EBSCO HOST was searched for entries since 1966 2014, which i...
