Impact of Minimally Non-surgical Periodontal Treatment on Residual Pockets

Effects of Minimally Non-surgical Periodontal Treatment Versus Quadrantwise Subgingival Instrumentations on Residual Periodontal Pockets

A double-blind randomized-controlled clinical trial is conducted in order to evaluate the impact of non-surgical periodontal treatment by means of minimally invasive approach MINST or Q-SI (quadrantwise) approach in subjects with periodontitis on residual pockets after active periodontal treatment

A double-blind randomized-controlled clinical trial is conducted in order to evaluate the impact of non-surgical periodontal treatment in subjects with periodontitis. 60 patients: 30 with periodontitis and 30 healthy controls who underwent active periodontal treatment. All the patients are assessed for clinical, periodontal, blood following of minimally invasive approach MINST or Q-SI (quadrantwise).

Measurements are taken before and after initial periodontal treatment in the periodontal subjects in order to evaluate the best treatment for residual pockets.

Inclusion Criteria:

• Diagnosis of Periodontitis
• Presence of residula periodontal pockets

Exclusion Criteria:

• Periodontal treatment
• Use of antibiotics, NSAIDs, and immunosuppressants during the last 6 months
• Pregnancy
