Clinical Trial: Clinical Effects and Metagenomic Analysis of Using an Air Polishing Device With Erythritol Powder Compared to Scaling and Root Planing in Periodontal Maintenance Therapy.

U.S., Jan. 16 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT07344805) titled 'Clinical Effects and Metagenomic Analysis of Using an Air Polishing Device With Erythritol Powder Compared to Scaling and Root Planing in Periodontal Maintenance Therapy.' on Nov. 19, 2025.

Brief Summary: Periodontitis is a chronic, multifactorial disease primarily driven by the accumulation of bacterial deposits. Treatment involves the mechanical removal of the biofilm, traditionally performed by scaling and root planing (SRP). However, SRP is time-consuming and can cause irreversible damage to both hard and soft tissues as well as postoperative sensitivity. Consequently, adjunctive or alternative air-polishing devices have been de...
