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.

Conditions

Treatment of Periodontitis; Guided Biofilm Therapy; Subgingival Plaque; Subgingival Debridement

Keywords

guided biofilm therapy; periodontitis; subgingival debridement

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• Gingival index

  4 surfaces of all teeth (distal, buccal, mesial, lingual) are evaluated 0= Normal gingiva 1. Mild inflammation - slight discoloration, slight edema. There is no bleeding after probing. 2. Moderate inflammation - redness, edema and shine. Bleeding after probing. 3. Severe inflammation - marked redness and edema. Ulceration. Tendency to spontaneous bleeding.

Study Arms (3)

Group 1- classic treatment

Subgingival debridement was performed using the Cavitron and Gracey curette (this is the method that is used routinely).

Group 2-Guided Biofilm Therapy

Subgingival debridement was performed with the Guided Biofilm Therapy (GBT+Airabrasion) method. This method is the most up-to-date method. The biofilm is shown to the patient with plate dye, and the biofilm is cleaned with air abrasion and perio flow (EMS device cavitron). In the patient's control sessions, the patient's oral hygiene motivation is tried to be increased by dyeing the biofilm.

Group 3- Classical treatment and with Plaque paint

the dental calculus and biofilm were stained with plaque paint, shown to the patient with the help of a mirror, and then routine subgingival debridement was performed.
