Purpose: The purpose of this study was to determine if the use of a periodontal endoscope
improves periodontal outcomes of scaling/root planing when compared to scaling/root …

The purpose of this pilot study was to evaluate the clinical and inflammatory changes
produced in chronic, non-responsive periodontitis sites when comparing traditional scaling …

Background The removal of subgingival calculus to obtain gingival health is an integral part
of nonsurgical periodontal therapy. The periodontal endoscope is used by some clinicians to …

Background It is well known that following root surface debridement (RSD) residual deposits
remain. Periodontal endoscopy has provided a method of directly visualizing root surfaces …

Background: A fiber‐optic periodontal endoscope was developed to aid in the visualization
of subgingival structures and to improve the diagnosis and management of periodontal …

Objectives There is uncertainty regarding the benefits of periodontal endoscopy (PE) for
subgingival instrumentation. Moreover, the influence of operators' experience and training …

Multicenter clinical trials have established that the adjunctive use of the subgingival
controlled release of chlorhexidine, in the form of the PerioChip, significantly reduces pocket …

This study was undertaken to compare the effects of scaling and root planing (Sc/RP)
performed from approximately 1 mm coronal to (test Sc/RP) or at the bottom of (control …

Objective: To compare the clinical effects of periodontal treatment using periodontal
endoscope with that of conventional treatment method for patients with periodontitis …

This study investigated two variables associated with scaling and planning (S&RP): operator
experience level and root surface access. One hundred and fourteen periodontally involved …
