Ultrasonic Versus Ultrasonic+ for Effective Sanative Therapy

Summary

Periodontitis is a chronic oral infection that results in the breakdown of connective tissue and alveolar bone that support the teeth. Non-surgical sanative therapy using a combination treatment of hand and ultrasonic instrumentation is the primary treatment option for patients with periodontitis. However, the hand-held instrumentation requires continuous sharpening for optimal outcomes, which introduces tremendous variability as well as a large increase in time spent by the treating dental hygienists. Therefore, this study aimed to determine if ultrasonic instrumentation alone can provide similar improvements to periodontal outcomes compared to ultrasonic plus hand instrumentation.
