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.
