Efficacy+of+Manual+Root+Planing+&+Power+Scaling



__Big Idea__ Aside from the same effectiveness of calculus removal with manual scaling and power scaling; there is no significant difference in root defects and surface roughness after hand scaling, and use of a power scaler. Elizabeth Munoz

Big Idea: Although ultrasonic scaling does not allow for the same tactile sense as does manual scaling, it is still efficient at removing calculus in a timely manor. -Alyssa

Big Idea: Their is no significant difference in the use of Manual scaling and root planing versus power scaling, especially in efficacy of calculus removal and healing time but, there is a difference in the hand scaling removing more healthy cementum than power scaling -Chris Fisher

Big Idea: Although there may be no significant difference or evidence when ultrasonic and manual scaling, the use of the ultrasonic may help expedite treatment time, comfort, and less operator fatique- Lyn26

Big Idea:

Power scaling has more advantages than hand instrumatation alone with better access to root variations,pocket depth, irrigating abilities, and the reduction of over scaling root surface and cementum.-Barbara Richardson

Big Idea: Although both manual and power scaling have different advantages and disadvantages they are best used in combination to have the benefits for both the clinician and the patient.---Martina #40

Big Idea: Manual root plan **in **  g does atta  **in **  a smoother root surface at the microscopic level than does ultrasonic debridement, but the difference does not appear to have any cl  **in **  ical significance.- Brittany

Big Idea: From the article: Local Anti-infective Therapy: Mechanical and Physical Approaches. A Systematic Review. By W. Hallmon and T. Rees. Manual and mechanical-driven instrumentation appears comparable in affecting improving clinical outcomes, when used in conjunction with each other. Instrumentation time at times are no different when comparing manual instrumentation and mechanically-driven instrumentation.---Mayte Hernandez #28

Big Idea: Mechanical scaling is more effective and less damaging and abrasive to the root surface then hand scaling. These findings are managed by opporator skill as well as tip and selection of ultrasonic scaler chosen for patients. If appropriate instrument tip is chosen and clinician is competent the ultrasonic scaler should produce effective and less abrasive results than a hand scaler. Nichole Tillison #41

Big Idea: There is evidence that the use of the ultrasonic and scaling with instruments is more beneficial and efficient in removing calculus than with scaling alone. Tonya Alcocer #23 big idea: there are no diffrences between power scaling and hand scaling. only in the furcation II, III there might be diffrence Big Idea: The combination of using both the ultrasonic machine and manual scaling can greatly benefit the patient, but not all the patient's are candidate for both. Martha E. Rosas #38

Big Idea: When compared clinical assessments and bacterial level were equally improved in both the group that was scaled with the ultrasonic and the group who was manually scaled. Christy Heslin
