[The use of a supersonic-frequency current in treating inflammatory periodontal diseases]

The impact of supersonic-frequency current (SFC) on the periodontium was investigated in 76 patients with chronic catarrhal gingivitis and light to mild periodontitis. SFC was shown to promote the disappearance or reduction of the size of inflammatory focus due to normalization or improvement in periodontal microcirculation. Clinical improvement was noted in 86% of the patients with chronic catarrhal gingivitis and in 88% of light periodontitis and 96% of mild periodontitis patients.
