Enhanced Periodontal Debridement with the Use of Micro Ultrasonic, Periodontal Endoscopy

Journal of the California Dental Association, 2005
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.
