Abstract

Background: Non-surgical periodontal therapy, including mechanical debridement and root planning, is the gold standard in the treatment of periodontal diseases. The most commonly used instruments for non-surgical therapy are sonic/ultrasonic devices and manual instruments such as curettes.

Objective: This study evaluates the clinical effectiveness and patient experience of non-surgical periodontal therapy using the Vector® Paro Pro ultrasonic device, emphasizing its impact on periodontal indices and patient comfort.

Methods: Fifty patients with gingivitis, periodontitis, or peri-implantitis participated. Baseline data, including Plaque Index (PI), Gingival Index (GI), Papillary Bleeding Index (PBI), Probing Depth (PD), and Clinical Attachment Loss (CAL), were recorded. Patients underwent treatment using the Vector® Paro Pro system. Evaluations were conducted at baseline, two weeks, and one month post-therapy. Statistical analyses utilized repeated measures ANOVA and paired t-tests, with a significance threshold of p<0.05. Patient experience was assessed via a questionnaire.

Results: All periodontal indices showed significant improvement post-therapy. The mean PI decreased from 1.18±0.12 to 0.52±0.08 after two weeks and 0.44±0.09 after one month (p<0.001). Significant reductions were observed in PBI (from 1.68±0.10 to 0.46±0.09) and PD (>4 mm pockets: from 5.55±0.19 to 3.65±0.45; p<0.001). CAL improved significantly (from 0.80±0.18 to 0.70±0.16 after one month; p<0.001). Patient-reported outcomes revealed that 98% experienced no pain during therapy.

Conclusion: The Vector® Paro Pro ultrasonic device demonstrated significant clinical improvements in periodontal health, particularly in bleeding reduction and deep pocket management. Its hydroxyapatite-enhanced fluid effectively polished root surfaces and reduced post-therapeutic sensitivity. Patients reported minimal discomfort, underscoring the device's potential as a comfortable, efficient alternative for non-surgical periodontal therapy. Further studies with longer follow-up periods are recommended to confirm these findings.

使用Vector®Paro Pro超声装置非手术治疗牙周病的疗效。
背景:包括机械清创和牙根规划在内的非手术牙周治疗是治疗牙周病的金标准。非手术治疗中最常用的仪器是声波/超声设备和手动仪器,如刮匙。目的:评价使用Vector®Paro Pro超声设备进行牙周非手术治疗的临床效果和患者体验,强调其对牙周指标和患者舒适度的影响。方法:对50例牙龈炎、牙周炎、种植周炎患者进行研究。记录基线数据,包括斑块指数(PI)、牙龈指数(GI)、乳头状出血指数(PBI)、探测深度(PD)和临床附着丧失(CAL)。患者使用Vector®Paro Pro系统进行治疗。评估分别在治疗后的基线、两周和一个月进行。统计学分析采用重复测量方差分析和配对t检验,结果显著性阈值为:治疗后所有牙周指标均有显著改善。2周后平均PI由1.18±0.12降至0.52±0.08,1个月后PI由0.44±0.09 (p4 mm袋由5.55±0.19降至3.65±0.45;结论:Vector®Paro Pro超声设备在牙周健康方面表现出显著的临床改善,特别是在出血减少和深袋管理方面。其羟基磷灰石增强液有效抛光根表面,降低治疗后敏感性。患者报告的不适感最小,强调了该设备作为一种舒适、有效的非手术牙周治疗替代方案的潜力。建议进行更长的随访期的进一步研究以证实这些发现。
