Subgingival Curettage

Removal of degenerated and necrotic epithelium and underlying connective tissue of a periodontal pocket in an effort to convert a chronic ulcerated wound to an acute surgical wound, thereby insuring wound healing and attachment or epithelial adhesion, and shrinkage of the marginal gingiva. The term is sometimes used in connection with smoothing of a root surface or ROOT PLANING. (Jablonski; Illustrated Dictionary of Dentistry, 1982)

1.	Periodontal Pocket (Periodontal Pockets) 09/01/2007 - "Surgical treatment by closed gingival curettage to eliminate the diseased pocket lining resulted in a recovery rate of 48.8% and proved effective in substantially reducing deep periodontal pockets. " 05/01/1989 - "It can be concluded that if the effective plaque control would be maintained post operatively, subgingival curettage is the first choice of method in the treatment of periodontal pockets." 09/01/1975 - "Three methods for treatment of periodontal pockets (subgingival curettage, modified Widman flap surgery, and pocket elimination) were applied as a clinical trial to 82 patients. " 05/01/1968 - "Subgingival curettage versus surgical elimination of periodontal pockets." 05/01/1998 - "After application of classic therapy in patients with serious stages of periodontal diseases (subgingival curettage, Modified Widmann flap surgery with and without implantation of implants) a significant strengthening of teeth in alveolus was observed, as well as alleviation of patient's discomfort, and decrease of the depth of periodontal pockets, bleeding, inflammation, etc. However, in spite of the application of this therapy a postoperative defect was sometimes filled with different low tissues of periodontium, in other words periodont reparation took place. "
2.	Gingival Hyperplasia 06/01/1999 - "In this study, the effects of initial periodontal therapy and gingival curettage are analyzed in a group of patients with clinically significant (>30%) CsA-induced gingival hyperplasia. "
3.	Calculi (Calculus) 01/01/2003 - "This review includes studies regarding the use of Er:YAG laser on hard tissue procedures, such as calculus removal and osseous surgery as well as soft tissue management, like gingivectomy, gingival curettage and melanin removal."
4.	Periodontal Diseases (Periodontal Disease) 01/01/2011 - "The purpose of this clinical study was to examine nonsurgical treatments of periodontal disease comparing a diode laser to subgingival curettage with conventional hand instruments. " 05/01/1987 - "7 patients with moderate to severe inflammatory periodontal disease received a full-mouth scaling and subgingival curettage. " 01/01/1985 - "[The role and value of gingival curettage in the treatment of periodontal disease]." 11/01/1984 - "The rationale and technique of subgingival curettage in the treatment of periodontal disease." 01/01/2014 - "Patients with periodontal disease who undergo procedures for subgingival curettage and/or periodontal flap have a remarkably decreased risk of ESRD."
5.	Chronic Periodontitis 01/01/2021 - "The combined therapy of ultrasonic subgingival curettage and Xipayi gingival rinse can effectively cure moderate to severe chronic periodontitis. " 01/01/2021 - "We explored and analyzed the effect and masticatory function of ultrasonic subgingival curettage combined with rinsing and gargling of Xipayi gingival rinse on patients with moderate to severe chronic periodontitis. " 01/01/2021 - "The curative effect of ultrasonic subgingival curettage combined with Xipayi gingival rinse on patients with chronic periodontitis." 05/01/1989 - "The long term effectiveness of modified Widman flap and subgingival curettage techniques were evaluated in 21 patients who have chronic periodontitis. " 11/16/2021 - "Routine preclinical interventions for patients with chronic periodontitis such as supragingival cleaning and subgingival curettage, establishing a balanced occlusal relationship, and irrigation with 3% hydrogen peroxide can relieve the symptoms to some extent.
