Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Dental and Medical Sciences (IOSR-JDMS) - Year 2018, Vol 17, Issue 5
Abstract
Background: The mechanical removal of plaque and calculus has to be considered, together with oral hygiene instructions and motivation reinforcements, as A fundamental part of periodontal Supportive Treatment. Aim:To document the intensity And duration of pain immediately after conventional procedure (Scaling And Curettage) followed by the same using Magnification Loupes. Methodology:A comparative descriptive study was undertaken among 10 subjects who were chosen conveniently and were divided into 2 groups. First group received the conventional therapy (Scaling And Curettage) followed by the second group which received the Same (Scaling And Curettage)with magnification loupes. Visual Analogue Scale (Heft-Parker Scale) was used to assess pain before scaling and curettage after undergoing the procedure Results: The mean gingival Index value at baseline was higher in microsurgical group (2.37 ± 0.52) as compared to conventional (2.13 ± 0.33) group and it was not statistically significant. plaque Index at baseline Showed Higher Mean Values For Conventional Group (2.28 ± 0.27) as compared to microsurgical Group(2.15 ± 0.15) which was not statistically significant. Conclusion: no difference could be found among the groups in terms of objective outcomes. More randomised controlled trials are better to understand the usefulness of magnification loupes for supragingival scaling. In particular exploring the effect of pain perception on wider samples.
