About this trial

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.

Eligibility criteria

This trial does not accept healthy volunteers

Qualifiers

>18 years

periodontitis of stage 1 and 2

absence of systemic chronic disease

Disqualifiers

anticoagulants treatment

antibiotic treatment 3 months before the screening visit

Trial design

Design model

Parallel

Treatments tested in this trial

  • Full-mouth ultrasonic debridement with piezoelectric device (EMS, mini piezon)

    Device

    the use of ultrasonic oscillating tips allows supragingival and subgingival biofilm and dental calculus removal

  • Full-mouth ultrasonic debridement with magnetostrictive device (Cavitron Select, Dentsply)

    Device

    the use of ultrasonic oscillating tips allows supragingival and subgingival biofilm and dental calculus removal

Treatment groups

52 Participants
are divided into 2 treatment groups
Group A: PiezoelectricActive comparator 1 intervention
Group B: MagnetostrictiveExperimental treatment 1 intervention
