“…Air polishing has been accepted to be an effective alternative to remove biofilm and stain ( Petersilka et al, 2003c ; Zhao, He & Meng, 2015 ), which makes maintenance therapy more time-saving and comfortable. The original material used in air polishing was sodium bicarbonate ( Weaks et al, 1984 ; Willmann, Norling & Johnson, 1980 ), which could cause severe gingival erosion and substantial root damage ( Petersilka et al, 2003a ; Simon, Munivenkatappa Lakshmaiah Venkatesh & Chickanna, 2015 ). Comparing with sodium bicarbonate, glycine is odorless, low-abrasive and highly water-soluble ( Bozbay et al, 2016 ).…”

BackgroundGlycine air polishing has been proved to be safe, comfortable and time-saving. Whether it could substitute ultrasonic scaling to remove dental plaque biofilm during periodontal maintenance remains unclear. The purposes of this study were to evaluate the effect of supragingival glycine air polishing (SGAP) on the subgingival periodontal pathogens during maintenance therapy and to check the association of periodontal pathogens and clinical parameters.MethodsTwenty-three chronic periodontitis patients during their maintenance therapy were enrolled in the 12-week study. According to randomized split-mouth design, the test side was treated with SGAP (65 μm), while the control side was treated with supragingival ultrasonic scaling and polishing (SUSP) with rubber cup. Clinical examination including plaque index (PLI), probing depth (PD), bleeding index (BI) were performed at baseline and 12 weeks post-treatment. Sampling of the subgingival plaque at each investigational site (mesiobuccal site of the mandibular first molar) was performed at baseline and 2, 4, 8, 12 weeks after maintenance treatment. Four periodontal pathogens including Porphyromonas gingivalis, Tannerella forsythia, Treponema denticola and Fusobacterium nucleatum were detected by 16S rDNA polymerase chain reaction.ResultsClinical status generally improved after treatment in both groups. PLI in both groups, PD in SGAP group and bleeding on probing (%) in SUSP group significantly decreased after treatment (p < 0.05). There was no significant difference of clinical parameters between two groups before and after treatment. The detection rates of P. gingivalis, T. denticola in both groups, T. forsythia in SUSP group and F. nucleatum in SGAP group decreased after maintenance treatment in both groups, although no significant difference was found, and it rebound to baseline level at 12 weeks after maintenance treatment. There was no significant difference between SGAP group and SUSP group at any time point. T. denticola-positive sites had significantly greater BI than T. denticola-negative sites (p < 0.05).DiscussionSupragingival glycine air polishing had a reliable effect in removing subgingival dental plaque biofilm during maintenance period, and three months may be a proper maintenance interval for pockets not more than 5 mm.

“…The administration of chlorhexidine seems to promote the reduction of inflammation parameters (46,47,53,54). Air polishing with glycine powder has showed adequate ability to remove plaque and biofilm from both the dental and the implant surfaces without altering their surface structure (43,(55)(56)(57)(58)(59)(60)(61)(62). Furthermore, this powder has been used in the treatment of peri-implantitis (47,63) and recently of mucositis (64).…”

“…In another study by Simon et al .,[ 17 ] on patients with chronic periodontitis, it was found that glycine and ultrasonic polishing would result in the removal of plaque and gum index. Of course, it should be noted that in the present study, patients were without plaque, periodontitis, periodontal envelope, and gingival decay.…”

Introduction:During orthodontic treatment, patients are expected to undergo consistent periodic prophylaxis as a result of complexities in oral hygiene. The aim of this study was to investigate, analyze, and compare the effectiveness of two professional prophylaxis systems of rubber cup polishing (RCP) and air-powder polishing (APP) in patients undergoing orthodontic treatment based on different levels of plaque and pigment on teeth and the extent of attachment of brackets after prophylaxis.Materials and Methods:A total of 50 patients were selected for this clinical trial study. A couple of months after the orthodontic treatment, the patients were placed on professional prophylaxis in terms of the plaque index. Randomized cross-arch prophylaxis (right maxilla with left mandible), RCP (left maxilla with right mandible), and APP were carried out on the patients. The main indexes in the study (number of plaque removal and debonding), the work time duration per second, and convenience of patients using visual analog scale in each of the methods were evaluated as minor factors. Data were recorded in a special checklist.Results:The mean of the plaque index and the time spent on RCP were observed to be higher than APP. The average satisfaction rate of patients with RCP was higher than APP. The debonding of the bracket and the tooth was not observed in any of the methods.Conclusion:APP is more efficient than RCP for performing professional prophylaxis of orthodontic patients.

Efficacy of glycine powder air polishing in comparison with sodium bicarbonate air polishing and ultrasonic scaling – a double‐blind clinico‐histopathologic study

Abstract: GPAP results in clinically significant improvement in plaque and gingival index scores and histologically causes less gingival erosion than SBAP or ultrasonic instrumentation, further supporting the safety of this debridement technique in periodontal maintenance therapy.
