“…Among the alternative tools proposed to be used in scaling procedures, ultrasonic scalers (US) and rotatory instruments (RI) deserve attention, since these instruments have been shown to increase the efficiency of the scaling procedure by removing similar or larger quantities of biofilm and calculus deposits in a reduced time compared to HI 8,9 . In fact, the improvement of clinical outcomes induced by the scaling performed with US and RI is equivalent to that of scaling performed with HI 9,10 . Moreover, the use of these alternative instruments can improve the access to periodontal instrumentation, thereby making the scaling procedure easier to perform 11 .…”

Introduction Root-scaling procedures on the root surface show to increase root surface roughness during instrumentation. The use of a prophylactic paste reduces the roughness. Objetive This study evaluated the influence of prophylaxis paste on the surface roughness of root dentin after hand instruments (HI), ultrasonic scalers (US) and rotational instruments (RI) were applied to root surfaces. Material and method Fifty bovine roots were prepared and randomly divided into 10 groups (n=5) in which instrumentation with HI, US, or RI was carried out with or without prophylaxis using either conventional or 3% hydroxyapatite paste; additionally, a control group without treatment was included. The Ra and Rz roughness values were measured using a perfilometer. The morphological aspects of the root surfaces were analysed qualitatively by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Data were analysed using two-way ANOVA followed by Tukey’s test (α = 0.05). Result The scaling method and the prophylaxis procedure significantly influenced (p < 0.05) root surface roughness. Treatment with US and prophylaxis with 3% hydroxyapatite paste resulted in lower values of Ra (0.14 μm ± 0.02 μm) and Rz (0.89 μm ± 0.18 μm) compared to the other groups. SEM analysis showed smoother and more homogeneous surfaces in the groups with prophylaxis compared to the groups without prophylaxis. There were no substantial differences between the results of applying different pastes. Conclusion The prophylaxis procedure performed with the experimental paste containing 3% hydroxyapatite reduced the roughness of root surfaces treated with HI, US and RI at the same level as the conventional prophylactic paste.

Vertical Edgeless Preparation: Periodontal Dominance in Prosthetic Crown Preparation

et al. 2023

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

This article aims to describe Vertical Edgeless Preparation (VEP), a full-crown vertical preparation technique initially introduced by the Porta Mascarella Group in the 1980s. The method is defined as “periodontally driven” because its main indication is teeth with a loss of periodontal attachment, and it aims to obtain healthier periodontal tissues. This work describes the step-by-step procedure for performing this prosthetic technique and its indications, contraindications, impression phases, temporary crown management, and biological concepts.
