Summary

The goal of this randomized clinical trial is to compare the effect of erythritol air-polishing and conventional polishing following ultrasonic scaling on the relapse of chromogenic tooth staining in children aged 4-13 years attending the Pediatric Dentistry Clinic of Marmara University Faculty of Dentistry for routine dental examination.

The main questions this study aims to answer are:

* Does erythritol air-polishing reduce the relapse of chromogenic tooth staining compared with conventional polishing following ultrasonic scaling?
* Is there a difference in the time to relapse of chromogenic tooth staining between the two polishing techniques?

Researchers will compare conventional polishing (prophylaxis paste and a polishing brush) following ultrasonic scaling with erythritol air-polishing performed using the EMS air-polishing device following ultrasonic scaling to determine whether one method is more effective in preventing or delaying the relapse of chromogenic tooth staining.

Conditions

  • Black Staining

Interventions

DEVICE

Guided Biofilm Therapy with erythritol

Description: Participants assigned to Group 1 will receive professional removal of chromogenic tooth staining using ultrasonic scaling followed by erythritol air-polishing with the EMS air-polishing device, guided by a plaque-disclosing agent. At the end of the procedure, the investigator will record the treatment time, apply the plaque-disclosing agent, obtain intraoral photographs, and assess chromogenic tooth staining using the Qraycam.

DEVICE

Conventional Polishing

Participants will undergo professional tooth cleaning using the ultrasonic scaler of the EMS device. The tooth surfaces will then be polished using a polishing brush and prophylaxis paste.
