Abstract

In this study, supragingival irrigation with a pulsating waterjet device was performed on subgingival plaque, and then the changes in clinical parameters and bacterial flora were evaluated in comparison to tooth brushing. The test group used a waterjet device once a day. Plaque index (P1I), plaque control record (PCR), gingival index (GI), bleeding on probing (BOP), and probing depth (PD) were measured. Porphyromonas gingivalis was detected in the subgingival plaque by polymerase chain reaction. The clinical findings were superior for P1I and PCR in the group treated with tooth brushing. The test group detected only a slight amount of P. gingivalis. These findings indicate that this pulsating waterjet device may be a useful therapy for periodontal disease.
