A comparative evaluation of the efficacy of manual, magnetostrictive and piezoelectric ultrasonic instruments: an in vitro profilometric and SEM study

Journal of Applied Oral Science, 2012
OBJECTIVES: The debridement of diseased root surface is usually performed by mechanical scaling and root planing using manual and power driven instruments. Many new designs in ultrasonic powered scaling tips have been developed.

A-Comparative evaluation of root surface roughness after the use of gracey curettes and piezo-surgery-driven root planning tip on root surface: An in-vitro study

IP International Journal of Periodontology and Implantology, 2020
Introduction and Objective: The ideal instrument for initial periodontal therapy should enable the removal of all extraneous substances from the root surfaces without any iatrogenic effects. Because of that the objective of this study is to analyses and to compare the root surface roughness after using Gracey curettes, and a piezosurgery driven root ...

Does timing of systemic antibiotics influence periodontal treatment outcomes? A randomized clinical trial

Journal of Periodontology, EarlyView.
Abstract Background The aim of this study is to determine whether the timing of metronidazole (MTZ) and amoxicillin (AMX) administration, relative to scaling and root planing (SRP), influences the clinical and microbiological outcomes of periodontal treatment.

Immunomodulators, associated or not with systemic antibiotics, to treat periodontitis: A 1‐year multicenter, placebo‐controlled, double‐blind, randomized clinical trial

Journal of Periodontology, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Immunomodulatory agents such as omega‐3 (ω‐3) and low‐dose aspirin (ASA) have been proposed as effective adjuncts in the treatment of periodontitis. However, they still lack long‐term studies and head‐to‐head evaluation with metronidazole (MTZ) and amoxicillin (AMX), the adjunct protocol with the strongest scientific evidence of ...
