A comparative analysis of dental plaque removal techniques

A variety of dental plaque removal techniques are currently at the disposal of stomatologists and dental hygienists. A comparative analysis of the efficacy of the two up-to-date dental plaque removal techniques, ultrasound and AIR-Flow methods, was performed. The oral health status was assessed using hygiene indices. Oral health assessments were performed during the initial dental visit and one week later. After cleaning with ultrasound or AIR-Flow teeth become lighter and the risk for the development of periodontal diseases is significantly reduced. The dental plaque removal technique must be tailored to the individual needs.
