DEVICE

Air Flow Master Piezon®, EMS SA, Nyon, Swiss

comparison of different instruments on root cementum: Instrumentations with US devices ( Air Flow Master Piezon®, EMS SA, Nyon, Swiss) were performed with medium power settings and with the use of water cooling (as instructed by the manufacturer). One approximal root surface (distal and mesial) of each tooth was randomly subjected to debridement and the other approximal surface was used as control. All the instrumentations of teeth were performed by a single operator. The criteria for adequate treatment were smooth, hard root surfaces, with no remnants of calculus. The cleanliness and smoothness of the root surface were checked using a fine dental explorer. The instrumentations were done under local anesthesia.

DEVICE

Gracey curettes, American Eagle, Missoula, MT, USA

comparison of different instruments on root cementum Hand instruments (Gracey curettes 5/6, 11/12, 13/14 American Eagle, Missoula, MT, USA) were used for subgingival root instrumentation. The criteria for adequate treatment were smooth, hard root surfaces, with no remnants of calculus. The cleanliness and smoothness of the root surface were checked using a fine dental explorer. The instrumentations were done under local anesthesia.

DEVICE

Air-flow® Powder Perio, EMS SA, Nyon, Swiss

comparison of different instruments on root cementum: Instrumentations with air polishing (Air-flow® Powder Perio, EMS SA, Nyon, Swiss) were performed with a special nozzle and medium power settings and with the use of water cooling (as instructed by the manufacturer). One approximal root surface (distal and mesial) of each tooth was randomly subjected to debridement and the other approximal surface was used as control. All the measurements and instrumentations of teeth were performed by a single operator. The criteria for adequate treatment were smooth, hard root surfaces, with no remnants of calculus. The cleanliness and smoothness of the root surface were checked using a fine dental explorer. The instrumentations were done under local anesthesia
