Management of periodontitis by three different approaches to non-surgical periodontal debridement- a randomized comparative clinical study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Non-surgical periodontal therapy (NSPT) is the cornerstone of periodontitis management. This comparative clinical study evaluates the effectiveness of three different non-surgical treatment approaches in three treatment groups, namely, Quadrant-wise Scaling and Root Surface Debridement (Q-Sc + RSD), Full-mouth Disinfection (FMDis), and Full-mouth Debridement (FMDeb).

Methods

A total of 45 patients with generalised stage II and III periodontitis were randomly assigned to one of the three treatment groups. Plaque scores (PS), bleeding scores (BS) and probing pocket depths (PD) were recorded at baseline and post-NSPT. Data were analyzed to compare the changes in PS, BS, and PD distribution at baseline and post-NSPT in all three groups.

Results

All three treatm
