Summary

There are different protocols to treat gum diseases. One relevant differential aspect is related to time. There are protocols that usually takes one to two months to be completed while other are completed within 24 hours. Although both protocols seem to provide clinically similar improvements, there are some positive aspects related to the short-term one. Among them lower number of clinical sessions, easier schedule and costs advantages. However, there are many other relevant aspects that can be helpful for patients and clinicians decisions regarding type of treatment.

This study evaluates if and how clinically effective protocols used to treat periodontitis affect quality of life related to individual's oral statuses. In addition, the experiences of fear, anxiety and pain before and after these specific protocols are monitored.

Conditions

  • Periodontitis

Interventions

PROCEDURE

Quadrant-wise scaling

Patients underwent quadrant scaling under local anesthesia in four weekly sections. Three experienced trained periodontists carried out debridement procedures of both protocols with manual Gracey and McCall curettes and Hirschfield files. Oral hygiene instructions were given for all participants and oral supplies were provided for the duration of the study.

PROCEDURE

Full-mouth 24-hour scaling

Patients underwent full-mouth scaling under local anesthesia in two sections within 24 hours. Three experienced trained periodontists carried out debridement procedures of both protocols with manual Gracey and McCall curettes and Hirschfield files. Oral hygiene instructions were given for all participants and oral supplies were provided for the duration of the study.
