Effect of root planing on surface topography: an in‐vivo randomized experimental trial

Abstract: Both ultrasonic devices reduce the roughness, producing a similar topography to that observed after manual instrumentation with a curette, to which they appear to represent a valid alternative.

“…The degree of surface alteration after manual debridement is related to various factors, primarily the presence of a sharp cutting edge and the moderate pressure necessary for calculus removal. On the other hand, the mechanism of action of ultrasonic devices is based on both the tip vibration and the cavitation effect, thus requiring light pressure . From the clinical perspective, an intact non‐contaminated and toxin‐free cement layer leads to higher adhesion of fibroblasts and epithelial binding to the tooth and represents a prerequisite in long‐term maintenance of periodontal health .…”

“…Manual curets have been the traditional means with which to accomplish root debridement and SRP. While being effective at achieving treatment goals, some of the disadvantages of curets include difficulty accessing complex root anatomy, 5 increased loss of cementum, 6 postoperative hypersensitivity and risk of pulp damage 7 . Ultrasonic instruments are commonly used to remove plaque and calculus from root surfaces without some of these disadvantages 8 .…”

“…A prominent finding of this report was that there was no statistically significant difference between the magnetostrictive scaler and the control teeth, implying that though the magnetostrictive scaler removed surface deposits, it left the root surfaces with a roughness value approximating that of untreated surfaces. Another similar study comparing untreated teeth, manual curets, and two different piezoelectric devices found that all three treatment methods resulted in a smoother root surface as compared with the control teeth, implying that piezoelectric devices represent a valid alternative to manual instruments 7 . Given the varying benefits and limitations of all of the available treatment options, many clinicians elect to use both manual and ultrasonic instrumentation in combination 12 …”
