Comparison of Effect of Ultrasonic Subgingival Scaling and Manual Sub-gingival Scaling in the Treatment of Mild to Moderate Chronic Periodonti-tis
Objective To analyze the effects of ultrasonic subgingival scaling and manual subgingival scaling in the treatment of mild to moderate chronic periodontitis.Methods The clinical data of 80 patients with chronic periodonti-tis in the Affiliated Stomatological Hospital of Xiamen Medical College from June 2022 to June 2023 were retrospec-tively selected.According to different treatment methods,the patients were divided into ultrasonic group and manual group,40 cases in each group.The ultrasonic group was treated with ultrasonic subgingival scaling,and the manual group was treated with manual subgingival scaling.The therapeutic effect of the two groups was compared.Results Af-ter treatment,the plaque index,simplified soft scale index,simplified calculus index,gingival sulcus bleeding index,gingival index and pain scores in ultrasound group were lower than those in manual group,and the differences were statistically significant(all P<0.05).The incidence of adverse reactions in the ultrasound group was 10.00%,com-pared with 15.00%in the manual group,and the difference was not statistically significant(χ2=0.457,P>0.05).Con-clusion Ultrasonic subgingival scaling is effective in the treatment of mild to moderate chronic periodontitis,which can effectively improve the cleaning of the tooth surface and the condition of the gum,and relieve the pain.
