Outcomes of non‐surgical periodontal treatment by dental hygienists in training: impact of site‐ and patient‐level factors

Abstract: This study supports the benefits of non-surgical therapy in the treatment of chronic periodontitis by dental hygienists in training. Better responses to treatment tend to be observed in non-smokers and in those with less advanced periodontitis at baseline.

“…In Preshaw's study, the procedure was performed by ten dental hygienists in training. 40 More experienced and welltrained operators may decrease the chance of residual calculus remaining on root surfaces which may result in better improvement in more severe periodontitis teeth in our study. The frequency of MCP-1 -2518 G genotype has been shown to be significantly lower in female patients with aggressive periodontitis compared to the female healthy group.…”

“…In contrast to the study by Preshaw et al, our research showed that more severe baseline parameters were statistically associated with better response to treatment. 40 The possible explanation might be that we performed high quality of nonsurgical periodontal treatment by two well-trained periodontists. In Preshaw's study, the procedure was performed by ten dental hygienists in training.…”

“…However, it is well-known that the outcomes of SRP are compromised in tobacco-product users (such as cigarette smokers) than individuals that do not consume tobacco. [6][7][8] One reasoning in this context is that nicotine (a major and addictive constituent in tobacco) reduces the proliferation of fibroblasts, red blood cells, macrophages and increases platelet aggregation, 9 which in turn compromises tissue perfusion and healing due to formation of micro-clot in vessels. 9,10 It has been well documented that intake of smokeless tobacco (ST) products increases the risk of oral-inflammatory disorders such as CP.…”
