Detection, removal and prevention of calculus: Literature Review

Abstract: Dental plaque is considered to be a major etiological factor in the development of periodontal disease. Accordingly, the elimination of supra- and sub-gingival plaque and calculus is the cornerstone of periodontal therapy. Dental calculus is mineralized plaque; because it is porous, it can absorb various toxic products that can damage the periodontal tissues. Hence, calculus should be accurately detected and thoroughly removed for adequate periodontal therapy. Many techniques have been used to identify and rem… Show more

“…In the present study, the periodontal score was reduced in all dogs after clinical periodontal treatment. These reductions in periodontal scores were also observed in the control group, which serves as evidence for the importance of mechanical removal of dental plaque and dental calculus by scaling or root planing, consistent with the findings of a previous report 46 . However, the group that received combined treatment showed the lowest periodontal score among all groups; therefore, combined use of clindamycin and IFN-α formulation may be effective as a supporting method for the improvement of periodontal condition, following mechanical cleaning.…”

“…Koriste se tako da se distalnih 1 -2 mm instrumenta lagano pomiče po površini krune odnosno korijena zuba 17,18 . Konačno, za uklanjanje subgingivnog kamenca mogu se dodatno koristiti i ručne kirete kojima se izvodi struganje i poliranje korijena, iako se u tom slučaju ne preporučuje izbjeljivanje zuba zbog dubokih parodontnih džepova 8,19 . Nakon ovih postupaka potrebno je ispolirati površine zuba 14 .…”

“…Nakon ovih postupaka potrebno je ispolirati površine zuba 14 . U posljednje vrijeme se za uklanjanje posebice tvrdih naslaga s površine krune i korijena zuba sve više koriste i Er-YAG laseri 17,19 .…”

“…Ultrasonic scalers have become more widely used in recent years because they are easy and fast to use, when compared to hand scaler, but SEM evaluation reported a difficulty to achieve a smooth and calculus free surface [12,13]. However, hand scalers are unable to decontaminate root surfaces properly when the periodontal pockets are more than 4 mm deep [14].…”
