Efficacy+of+Gingival+Curettage



Big Idea Gingival curettage whether performed by the use of an instrument or laser after scalings, proves to have to significant effect with the improvement of attachment and probing depths. Elizabeth Munoz

Gingival curettage is viewed by the dental community as having no clinical value. Christy Heslin

Big Idea:

Scaling and root planing alone is just as effective as scaling and root planing along with gingival curettage. Barbara Richardson

Big Idea: Gingival curettage by means of laser has no significant clinical benefit but patients have been shown to have more interest in the "laser" gingival curettage rather than traditional curetage. -Alyssa big idea: laser subgingival curettage showed a significant improvements in clinical assessments such as PD, SBI, GI and CAL with less discomfort and treatment time compared to treatment with the hand instruments. Eman

Gingival currettage along with SRP seems to just halt the progress of destructive periodontal disease even for patients with advanced loss of periodontal support.-Tonya

Big Idea: Gingival curettage adds no benefit as an adjunctive procedure, regardless of how it is performed. -Brittany Knudsen

Big Idea: Gingival curettage seems to have no additional benefit to the patient then scaling and root planing alone. -Martina #40

Big Idea: The attachment between tooth and gingival tissues after periodic root planing and soft tissue curettage. The use of periodic root planing and soft tissue curettage allows for plaque control and formation of long junctional epithelium.Mayte Hernandez

Big idea: Rotary ginigval curettage disrupts the sulcus and the attachemnt epithelium, which stimulated the healing process and repositioninng of the tissues after repair and stabilization. The lack of tacticle sensation of the high speed instrument contributed to the problem of rotary curettage. -Nichole #41

Big Idea: Gingival curettage along with root planing and subgingival scaling were not effective performing nonsurgical or conservative treatment of a mndibular molar with Class III furcation; thus, it provided no therapeutic benefit. Martha #38

Big Idea: There is insufficient evidence stating that gingival curettage promotes overall health of the gingival tissues and whether it is by manual SRP or by laser therapy. Lyn 26

Big Idea: According to the research, gingival currettage increases the ability tissues such as long junctional epithelium, to reattach. resulting in reduction of pocket depths, gingival inflammation, and healing time. Best results come from gingival currettage as an adjunct to traditional scaling and root planing. -Chris FIsher#27
