Abstract
The instrumentation of the root surfaces in patients with braces is complex and 100% ineffective, and it is not pleasant for the patient, which in most cases means that the patient does not attend with the necessary periodicity prescribed by the periodontist to perform this removal of the oral biofilm. For this reason, there are new techniques that are less invasive and more comfortable for the patient based on a decontaminating powder with a very fine particle, 14 microns, with erythritol and chlorhexidine applied by means of an air polish that is not harmful to dental surfaces or oral mucosa.
The objective is to verify in a sample of 100 patients, by means of a randomized empirical study, whether the application of erythritol powder with chlorhexidine by means of an air polisher, applied in patients with braces with periodontal disease, can replace the instrumentation with ultrasound and gracey curettes in periodontal maintenance treatments and increase the patient's feeling of comfort. La instrumentación de las superficies radiculares en pacientes portadores de brackets es compleja e inefectiva al 100%, además no es agradable para el paciente, lo que en la mayoría de los casos hace que el paciente no acuda con la periodicidad necesaria pautada por el periodoncista para realizar esa eliminación del biofilm oral. Por ello, existen nuevas técnicas menos invasivas y de mayor confort para el paciente a base de un polvo descontaminante de partícula muy fina, 14 micras, con eritritol y clorhexidina aplicado mediante aeropulidor que no resulta lesiva para las superficies dentales ni la mucosa oral.
El objetivo es comprobar en una muestra de 100 paciente, mediante un estudio empírico aleatorizado, si realmente la aplicación del polvo de eritritol con clorhexidina mediante aeropulidor, aplicado en los pacientes portadores de brackets con enfermedad periodontal, puede sustituir la instrumentación con ultrasonidos y curetas gracey en los tratamientos de mantenimiento periodontal y aumentar la sensación de confort del paciente.
