Summary

The aim of the current study was to investigate the effect of a chitosan brush on the treatment of residual pockets in patients already treated for periodontal disease. Thirty-six patients with chronic periodontitis (Stage ΙΙΙ, ΙV) that had already completed causative therapy and exhibited at least two residual periodontal pockets ≥ 5mm that bled on probing, were randomly assigned to two groups. In the test group debridement of residual pockets was performed with ultrasonic scaler and the chitosan brush, whereas in the control group only ultrasonic scalers were used.
