Tobacco smokers patients present higher prevalence, severity and reincidence of destructive periodontal diseases. The goal of periodontal treatment is to restore tissue health through the elimination and control of etiologic factors, reducing the microbial aggression. Conventional non-surgical therapy consists mainly of scaling and root planning, and emphatic on personal plaque control. S…
Nonsurgical treatment of destructive periodontal diseases is the reduction of bacterial deposits adhering to tooth surfaces by means of scaling and root planing. However, in some cases, conventional treatments may not be sufficient to control such diseases by interfering resistant periodontal pathogens and subsequent activation of chemical mediators of inflammatory response. The aim of th…
The goal of periodontal treatment is to restore tissue health through the elimination and control of etiologic factors, reducing the microbial aggression. Some microorganisms persist in the root surface even after scraping. Thus, the conventional mechanical treatment may fail to reduce the number of periodontal pathogens to levels compatible with health. The aim of this study is to verify…
