09/01/2012 - "Scaling and root planing (SRP) is the gold standard treatment for most patients with chronic periodontitis. "
01/01/1989 - "Scaling and root planing followed by regular professional plaque removal are effective in arresting the progress of most chronic adult periodontitis. "

02/01/2013 - "The present study aims to explore the efficacy of 0.5%, 1%, and 1.5% MF gel as a local drug delivery system in adjunct to scaling and root planing (SRP) for treatment of intrabony defects (IBDs) in patients with chronic periodontitis. "
10/01/2012 - "The purpose of the present study is to explore the efficacy of 1% ALN gel as a local drug delivery system in adjunct to scaling and root planing (SRP) for the treatment of intrabony defects in patients with chronic periodontitis (CP) with type 2 diabetes (DM) compared to a placebo gel. "

01/01/2002 - "HBO2 therapy combined with scaling and root planing was the most beneficial in the treatment of periodontitis. "
05/01/2001 - "Scaling and root planing have been shown to be less effective in smokers with periodontitis. "
06/01/1983 - "Non-surgical periodontal therapy, including patient motivation, instruction in oral hygiene and thorough scaling and root planing has been shown to be an acceptable and effective treatment for chronic destructive periodontitis. "
06/01/2015 - "The authors conclude that within the confines of this case series, the PerioPatch is a novel but simple device that can be used adjunctively with scaling and root planing for the management of chronic periodontitis."
09/01/2015 - "Efficacy of Combined Photoablative-Photodynamic Diode Laser Therapy Adjunctive to Scaling and Root Planing in Periodontitis: Randomized Split-Mouth Trial with 4-Year Follow-Up."

10/01/2004 - "Although these devices differ with regard to ease of use, concentration of drug delivered and length of time high drug concentrations can be maintained, randomized clinical trials have shown that their use as an adjunctive treatment to scaling and root planing results in a significantly greater reduction of periodontal pocket depth and an average increase in clinical periodontal attachment level of about 0.8 mm. Gain in clinical attachment is greater in deeper pockets than in shallower pockets. "
12/01/2008 - "The bone density within periodontal pockets treated with beneficial bacteria improved significantly after 12 weeks, while this was non-significant for the control pockets, receiving a single root planing at baseline. "
01/01/2011 - "The experimental local drug-delivery system containing 2% whole turmeric gel can be effectively used as an adjunct to scaling and root planing and is more effective than scaling and root planing alone in the treatment of periodontal pockets."
07/01/1982 - "It was concluded that the favorable clinical changes which occur in periodontal pockets within 1 month after a single episode of subgingival root planing combined with improved oral hygiene can be maintained for an additional 3 month time period."
09/01/2007 - "Open root planing following flap elevation resulted in a recovery rate of 85.4% and was effective for deep and refractory periodontal pockets. "

12/01/2003 - "Although mechanical non-surgical therapy (scaling and root planing) is the most common means of initial treatment of periodontal diseases, the relative clinical efficacy of various methods, including manual versus machine-driven, with or without adjunctive agents, has not been determined. "
11/01/1991 - "By common methods like scaling and root planing, flap procedures or surgical furcation treatment, a successful therapy of periodontal disease is possible in about 90% of the cases. "
06/01/2013 - "The aim of the study was to assess the immunomodulatory effects of the herbal immunomodulator Septilin® (Himalaya Drug Company, Bangalore, India) when used as an adjunct to scaling and root planing in chronic periodontal disease. "
03/01/2013 - "This study was conducted to verify whether periodontal disease in a deep intrabony defect and complex therapy, including aggressive root planing such as in periodontal regeneration, have an influence on tooth vitality. "
01/01/2010 - "Randomised controlled trials including pregnant women with documented periodontal disease randomised to either treatment with scaling and root planing or no treatment. "

02/01/2014 - "Daily intake of 325 mg of ASA following scaling and root planing improved treatment outcomes in smokers, without an increase in gingival bleeding tendency. "
01/01/1990 - "This split mouth designed study compared periodontal healing expressed as reduction in number of sites with probing depths of 4 mm or deeper and bleeding on probing following scaling and root planing with the Sonicflex and the Titan-S sonic scalers. "
01/01/2012 - "Conventional periodontal scaling and root planing were performed, and the response to this treatment was compared between the groups at three and six months, measuring the plaque index, bleeding index, gingival index, and probing depth. "
01/01/2008 - "To prevent abnormal increases in such bacteria on the gingiva, scaling and/or root planing before chemotherapy, which reduces bleeding on brushing during the neutropenic period caused by chemotherapy, may contribute to infection control in such patients, although it was impossible in this case."
01/01/2008 - "Inflammatory gingiva without scaling and root planing showed bleeding tendency, and this interfered with the eradication of this bacterium. "
