Description
Summary:Objective To compare clinical efficacy, chairside time and post‐treatment hypersensitivity of four instruments used for subgingival periodontal debridement. Materials & Methods Seventeen patients with stage II and III periodontitis were enrolled in this randomized clinical trial using a split‐mouth design. Quadrants were randomly divided into four treatment groups: Group A: Gracey curettes‐Hu‐Friedy®; Group B: piezoelectric ultrasonic (Satelec®) with No.1S insert; Group C: diamond burs 40 µm (Intensiv Perioset®); and Group D: piezosurgery ultrasonic (Mectron®) with PP1 insert. Clinical outcomes, chairside time and hypersensitivity were assessed at 1, 2, 4 and 8 weeks after treatment. The primary outcome variable was improvement in clinical attachment level. Results At 8 weeks post‐treatment, Gracey curettes, piezoelectric ultrasonic (Satelec®) and piezosurgery ultrasonic (Mectron®) were statistically more effective than diamond burs in increasing attachment level and reducing probing pocket depth. Comparison of piezoelectric ultrasonic (Satelec®) and piezosurgery ultrasonic (Mectron®) with the other instruments showed a statistical difference (p
