Research progress of subgingival air-polishing in the treatment of periodontitis and peri-implantitis
Year: 2025
Type: article
Abstract: Subgingival air polishing can effectively remove plaque and soft deposits attached to the tooth surface and implant surfaces. It is an adjunctive treatment method for periodontitis and peri-implantitis, offering good cleaning efficiency with minimal damage to the root surface and implant surface. Additionally, it promotes the reattachment of fibroblasts to the root surface and osteoblast integration on the implant surface. Subgingival air polishing can improve clinical attachment levels and also shows better therapeutic effects when combined with flap surgery. It provides higher comfort for patients and lower operational difficulty for the dentist. This article aims to analyze and summarize in vivo and in vitro studies, reviewing the therapeutic progress of subgingival air polishing in the treatment of periodontitis and peri-implantitis.
