简要总结
Periodontitis is a chronic condition associated with the inflammatory destruction of the periodontal tissues ultimately leading to tooth loss. Clinically, it is identified by key features such as clinical attachment loss (CAL), bleeding upon probing (BOP), and an increase in probing pocket depth (PPD), and/or gingival recession. Periodontitis is mediated by polymicrobial dysbiosis with keystone pathogens affecting the virulence of the entire biofilm community. The removal of this biofilm and its retention factors is the ultimate goal of clinical treatment and oral measures applied. The elimination of the biofilm has traditionally been achieved with the use of either hand instruments or power driven devices. Promoting periodontal health or diminishing bacterial presence and calculus buildup on teeth can be accomplished with the same efficacy whether using manual scalers and curettes or ultrasonic scaling instruments.
Both hand and ultrasonic instruments are characterized by being time-consuming and requiring technical skill, often causing patient discomfort and post-treatment pain, including hypersensitivity resulting from the loss of hard tissue when scaling the tooth surface. Ultrasonic instruments tend to leave a rougher surface behind compared to hand instruments. While effective the current techniques all have their disadvantages.
The aim of this study is to evaluate changes in probing depth clinically, Bleeding on probing, Clinical attachment level, Plaque index, Calculus index, Patient pain/discomfort, Patient satisfaction, Cost effectiveness, Treatment time and Number of pockets closed after using AIRFLOW® Prophylaxis Master device with erythritol powder.
详细描述
Patients will be selected from the outpatient clinic of the Oral Medicine and Periodontology Department, Faculty of Dentistry-Cairo University
- Screening of patients will continue until the target sample is achieved. (Consecutive sampling)
- Identifying and recruiting potential subjects will be achieved through patient database.
Preoperative evaluation:
- Clinical examination
Each patient will be examined to confirm that he/she met the eligibility criteria.

结局指标
主要结局
Change in probing pocket depth
时间窗: PPD will be taken at baseline, 1 month, 3 months and 6months after the intervention during the follow-up period and will be done by a single calibrated examiner.
The PPD will be clinically measured by using UNC 15 periodontal probe from the gingival margin to the depth of the pocket.
次要结局
- Bleeding On Probing(BoP will be taken at baseline, 1 month, 3 months and 6months after the intervention during the follow-up period and will be done by a single calibrated examiner.)
- Patient satisfaction(Patient satisfaction will be measured after the surgical procedure and 1 month, 3 months and 6 months after the intervention)
- Clinical Attachment Level(CAL gain will be taken at baseline, 3 months and 6 months after the intervention during the follow-up period and will be done by a single calibrated examiner.)
- Treatment time(Up to 6 months)
- Number of healed pockets(6 months post-op)
- Plaque index(PI will be measured baseline, 1 month, 3 months and 6 months after the intervention during the follow-up period and will be done by a single calibrated examiner)
- Calculus index(CI will be taken at baseline, 1 month, 3 months and 6months after the intervention during the follow-up period and will be done by a single calibrated examiner.)
- Patient pain/discomfort(Postoperative Pain will be measured after the surgical procedure and 1 month, 3 months and 6 months after the intervention)
- Cost effectiveness(At Baseline and 6 months post-op)
