Tabanella presents a case study of a tooth fracture associated with excessive and multiple sessions of scaling and
root planing during maintenance therapy following treatment for periodontitis.
After a period of 15 days, full mouth
root planing was done, and oral hygiene instructions were given.
Supragingival and subgingival scaling and
root planing were performed using the hand and ultrasonic instrumentation.
Comment: In this study, vitamin E supplementation, when used as an adjunct to scaling and
root planing, improved chronic periodontitis.
Moreover, research suggests that in patients with periodontitis during the second trimester, deep instrumental cleaning, known among dentists as scaling and
