Summary

This study tested two methods for deep gum cleaning in 36 people with periodontitis: a spray system (Airflow®) and traditional hand scaling. Researchers measured inflammation markers, bleeding, and pocket depth to see which method causes less tissue damage. The goal is to find a gentler way to treat gum disease and improve healing.
