Study Summary
The goal of this project is to analyze the effectiveness of calculus and biofilm removal using area-specific hand scalers such as Mini Five® Gracey Curettes and Micro Mini Five® Gracey Curettes in periodontal pockets that are 5mm or greater. The data collected from this project will provide the evidence needed to support the use of modified hand scalers during non-surgical periodontal therapy for clinicians.
Primary Outcome
Amount of remaining deposits after instrumentation with the various curettes depending on which group the subject is randomized into on 5mm pockets or greater.
Interventions
- PROCEDURE Scaling and root planing
