Standard Root Planing vs. Periodontal Structure Repair Device for Treatment of Pockets Caused by Periodontal Disease

Following local anesthesia, initial pocket preparation will be done by bur abrasion utilizing specially designed burs to plane the root surface and remove the inner lining of the pocket. Following bur abrasion, thin strips of gauze sponge are placed into the created space. After removing the gauze strips, PSR is inserted to fill the spaces beginning at the pocket bottom. The final step is placing a layer of cyanoacrylate on both the gingival margin and tooth supragingivally.

Ultrasonics and hand instruments are used to remove any subgingival deposits on the roots. Standard instruments and standard application are used. Visual or instrument tactile inspection is used to verify the roots are hard-smooth and have been adequately cleaned.
