Comparison of Current Subgingival Debridement Methods

Completed

• Conditions: Treatment of Periodontitis; Guided Biofilm Therapy; Subgingival Plaque; Subgingival Debridement

• Registration Number: NCT06835452
• Lead Sponsor: Hacettepe University

Brief Summary

Our study aimed to compare the effectiveness of current subgingival debridement methods used in the treatment of Stage 1 and Stage 2 periodontitis patients, the aesthetic condition achieved after these treatments, and the pain felt during treatment.

90 female patients who were diagnosed with chronic periodontitis (Stage 1-2) and required supra-subgingival scaling for treatment purposes, and who volunteered to participate in the study, were included in the study. Three treatment groups were determined. 30 people were included in each group. Periodontal examination was performed before and after the treatments in the 1st month, 3rd month and 6th month and the data on the collected periodontal parameters were analyzed.

Detailed Description

Periodontal parametreler Gingival index, plaque index, periodontal pocket depth and bleeding index on probing.

It was evaluated with the visual analog scale for pain and aesthetics.
