    The effect of a triclosan dentifrice on mucositis in subjects with dental implants: a six-month clinical study.

    The Journal of clinical dentistry·2009

    Repeated scaling and root planing in healthy periodontal sites caused significant connective tissue attachment loss and alveolar bone crest recession. This histological study highlights potential risks of frequent deep cleaning procedures.

    Area of Science:

    • Periodontology
    • Histology
    • Dental Research

    Background:

    • Periodontal maintenance involves scaling and root planing.
    • The effects of repeated procedures on healthy periodontal tissues are not fully understood.
    • Histological assessment provides precise measurement of attachment levels.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To histologically evaluate attachment level changes after repeated scaling and root planing.
    • To assess alterations in normal sulcus/pocket depth periodontal sites.
    • To determine the impact on connective tissue attachment and alveolar bone crest.

    Main Methods:

    • Two cynomolgus monkeys were used for the study.
    • Scaling and root planing were performed every two weeks on experimental teeth.

  • Histological sections were analyzed to measure distances from the cemento-enamel junction (CEJ) to the junctional epithelium (JE) and alveolar bone crest (BC).

    • Main Results:

    • Repeated scaling and root planing led to an average loss of 0.39 mm in connective tissue attachment.
    • A corresponding recession of the alveolar bone crest was observed.
    • Histological analysis confirmed significant attachment loss in treated sites compared to controls.

    Conclusions:

    • Repeated scaling and root planing in healthy periodontal sites can result in attachment loss and bone recession.
    • Findings suggest caution regarding the frequency of deep cleaning procedures in non-diseased sites.
    • Histological data support clinical observations of attachment loss in shallow pockets following repeated SRP.
