The Effectiveness of in Vivo Root Planing in Removing Bacterial Endotoxin from the Roots of Periodontally Involved Teeth

Abstract: In this study, scaling alone resulted in endotoxin values considerably greater than the values for healthy root surfaces. However, the root-planed Samples contained only about 1 ng more of endotoxin than did the healthy root surfaces. This small difference can be accounted for by the presence of small flecks of calculus left after root planing. Considering that out of a total sample size of 48 surfaces there was only 1 ng difference in the amount of endotoxin between planed teeth and uninvolved teeth, the basi… Show more

“…Immediately after introducing the defects, full root planning was performed using a dental rotator and curette to remove all cementum from the root surface. It was previously reported that removal of cementum through conventional root planning led to similar bone defects caused by periodontal disease [29,30]. An 8-week healing period was selected based on the report that canine intrabony defect cementumogensis is completed within 8 weeks [31].…”

“…The efficacy of root planning has been well documented in making the root surface disease-free and histocompatible for the surrounding soft tissue. 11 Accordingly, a meticulous root planning was performed in all patients.…”

“…Periodontally diseased root surfaces are thought to contribute to the disease process by acting as a reservoir for bacterial substances that contribute to inflammation and loss of bone and attachment (33,34). The removal of plaque, calculus and altered cementum by means of scaling and root planing is an integral part of periodontal treatment, used to obtain as clean a root surface as possible.…”
