Abstract
Objective: To observe the efficacy that moderate and severe periodontitis patient made use of the dental water jet in periodontal maintenance.Methods: We selected 40 cases of moderate periodontitis patients and 40 cases of severe periodontitis patients respectively and divided them into two groups.Quigley-Hein Plaque Index,bleeding index and probing depth before the first visit treatment,initiated therapy after three and six months were examined.Results: Initiated therapy after three and six months,the QPI reduced by 83.99% and 71.60%,the BI reduced by 77.60% and 85.89%,and the PD decreased by 28.27% and 46.72% respectively of the moderate periodontotis patients.The QPI reduced by 73.15% and 76.39%,the BI reduced by 53.90% and 54.59%,the PD decreased by 35.05% and 49.46% respectively of the severe periodontitis patients.Each experimental groups and control groups were statistically significant(P0.05).Conclution: The applications of dental water jet in periodontal maintenance have a good effect.
