Summary

Periodontal disease is a chronic multifactorial inflammatory disease that affects the soft and hard supporting tissues of the teeth. It is one of the most common oral health problems which 90% of the global adult population has been reported to have some form of the disease. Microorganisms in dental biofilm play a critical etiological factor in the development of this progressive destruction disease, and if left untreated, will eventually lead to tooth loss. Recurrent periodontal disease did occur in treated and well-maintained patients at different time intervals and is a site-specific disorder. Therefore, subgingival biofilm removal during supportive periodontal therapy has become a fundamental part in achieving a stable oral health after completion of active treatment. Subgingival debridement involves various techniques. In recent years, many studies have reported on the effectiveness of air polishing device using different powders versus conventional hand instruments and/or oscillating scalers. However, there is no study evaluating the health economic aspect of these treatment modalities. As development leads to advancement of treatment options, they often involve higher cost than the existing measures. Therefore, besides clinical efficacy, economic evaluation enables health decision makers to allocate limited health resources in a more efficient manner, to ensure best possible outcomes, without neglecting any segment of care.
