Investigation of Dental Health in Children With Neutrophil Defects: A Clinical Study

For children affected by periodontal disease, oral hygiene advice, non surgical periodontal treatment will also be performed according to needs. This can be accompanied, when appropriate, by the use of local anaesthesia and adjunctive antimicrobials (systemic or locally applied subgingivally), according to the clinical presentation and the child's medical conditions. Accurate supra- and sub-gingival removal of calculus and dental plaque will be performed both with ultrasonic and/or manual instruments. The necessary sub-gingival debridement will be performed in 1 to 4 visits (either full mouth treatment, half-mouth treatment or quadrant-wise treatment) depending on patient preference and practical considerations, using manual (Gracey curettes, Hu-Friedy) and ultrasonic devices (EMS). .
