Summary

This study tested whether splitting a deep cleaning into three sessions works better than doing it all at once for people with severe gum disease. 48 adults with advanced periodontitis received either a single or three-session scaling and root planing. Researchers checked gum pocket depth, inflammation, and bacteria levels over 6 months to see which approach leads to better healing.
