Comparing ultrasonic tools for deep gum cleaning
Part of Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This trial tests two types of ultrasonic tools (piezoelectric vs magnetostrictive) for full-mouth deep gum cleaning in people with mild to moderate gum disease (periodontitis stages 1 and 2). It aims to see which tool works better for removing plaque and tartar.

This study compares two types of magnifying tools used during deep cleaning of teeth and gums. It aims to see if one tool is better at removing plaque and tartar, which may help treat gum disease.
This study compares two methods for treating advanced gum disease (periodontitis) without surgery: one uses a special ultrasound device (Vector® system) and the other uses small hand tools (Mini-Five curettes). The goal is to see which cleans deeper pockets better and helps gums heal.
This trial compares two ways to treat severe gum disease (periodontitis): one using a laser along with ultrasonic cleaning, and the other using manual tools with ultrasonic cleaning. Both aim to reduce deep pockets and improve gum health without surgery.
