[Treatment of gingivitis with the cavitron under water and chlorhexidine cooling]

This article deals with the question whether the success of gingivitis treatment is enhanced by Cavitron therapy employing a 0.2% Chlorhexidine solution as a cooling agent with the Cavitron instead of water. It was shown that the symptoms of gingivitis disappear after removal of plaque and calculus deposits. Addition of a 0.2% Chlorhexidine solution in the cooling system of the Cavitron however does not significantly influence the success of the treatment.
