Treatment of residual pockets using an oscillating chitosan device versus regular curettes alone-a randomized, feasibility parallel-arm clinical trial.

Treatment of residual periodontal pockets (PPD = 5-7mm) with a chitosan brush disclosed equal or better clinical results as compared to regular curettes. This study supports that a chitosan brush can be used for subgingival biofilm removal and soft tissue curretage in the treatment of periodontitis. This article is protected by copyright.
