Asepsis is the practice of preventing or breaking the chain of infection. The nurse employs aseptic techniques to prevent the spread of microorganisms and reduce the risk of diseases. Hand hygiene is the cornerstone of aseptic techniques and is classified into medical and surgical asepsis. Medical asepsis includes hand hygiene and the use of gloves. Surgical asepsis, or the sterile technique, refers to practices that render and keep objects and areas free of microorganisms.

    Summary
    This summary is machine-generated.

    Subgingival debridement removes biofilm during nonsurgical periodontal therapy. No single method is superior, but laser, photodynamic therapy, and air-polishing offer less discomfort.

    Area of Science:

    • Dentistry
    • Periodontology
    • Nonsurgical Therapy

    Background:

    • Subgingival debridement is crucial in nonsurgical periodontal therapy.
    • It aims to eliminate subgingival biofilm without damaging cementum or calculus.
    • Understanding its endpoint, methods, and frequency is essential for effective treatment.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To review the endpoint of subgingival debridement.
    • To describe various methods used for subgingival debridement.
    • To determine the optimal frequency for carrying out this therapy.

    Main Methods:

    • Literature review of current subgingival debridement techniques.
    • Analysis of clinical and microbiological outcomes.
    • Assessment of patient-reported treatment discomfort.

    Main Results:

    • Available methods include hand instrumentation, ultrasonic instrumentation, laser, photodynamic therapy, and air-polishing.
    • No method demonstrated superiority in clinical or microbiological benefits.
    • Laser, photodynamic therapy, and air-polishing were associated with less patient discomfort.

    Conclusions:

    • Subgingival debridement is indicated for periodontal pockets of 5mm or deeper during supportive periodontal therapy.
    • Treatment choice may consider patient comfort alongside efficacy.
    • Further research may clarify long-term benefits of different debridement modalities.
