Full Mouth Ultrasonic Debridement Carried Out With Either Piezoelectric or Magnetostrictive Device
Sponsor: University of Siena
Summary
The treatment of periodontitis requires the removal of dental biofilm through both professional mechanical plaque removal and at-home oral hygiene practices. This study aims to compare clinical and psychological outcomes following professional treatment using either piezoelectric or magnetostrictive ultrasonic devices.
Official title: Clinical and Patient-Centered Outcomes of Full-Mouth Ultrasonic Debridement for Periodontitis: A Randomized Controlled Trial Comparing Piezoelectric and Magnetostrictive Devices
