Control Local Etiology The complete removal of soft and hard deposits from the root surfaces is necessary for the successful treatment of periodontal disease.
Calculus • Supragingival – salivary • Subgingival - serumal
Attachment of Calculus to Root Surfaces • Cuticle • Irregularities in root • Penetrates cemental tears • Into resorption bays in cementum and dentin
Root Planing / Debridement • Improves tissue quality • Reduces probing depth • Gain in clinical attachment • Expect junctional epithelial attachment • Expect no bone formation • Repeat RP may further improve result • Technically difficult to do well
Root Planing / Debridement • Complete removal of subgingival calculus not predictable • Open better than closed • Shallow better than deep • Facial / lingual better than interproximal • Molars more difficult • Similar effectiveness – hand vs. ultrasonic • Operator experience important
