Comparison of Current Subgingival Debridement Methods

Our study aimed to compare the effectiveness of current subgingival debridement methods used in the treatment of Stage 1 and Stage 2 periodontitis patients, the aesthetic condition achieved after these treatments, and the pain felt during treatment.

90 female patients who were diagnosed with chronic periodontitis (Stage 1-2) and required supra-subgingival scaling for treatment purposes, and who volunteered to participate in the study, were included in the study. Three treatment groups were determined. 30 people were included in each group. Periodontal examination was performed before and after the treatments in the 1st month, 3rd month and 6th month and the data on the collected periodontal parameters were analyzed.
