  • Title: Pulsed oral irrigation in the management of inflammatory periodontal diseases.
    Author: Walsh TF.
    Journal: Dent Update; 1993 Mar; 20(2):65, 67-8, 70-1. PubMed ID: 8593915.
    Abstract:
    While subgingival scaling and root planing are effective at removing plaque, the use of periodic subgingival irrigation with a antimicrobial solution could be a useful adjunct. This paper initially discusses the management of inflammatory periodontal diseases in general, covering current mechanical therapy and chemical antimicrobials, before describing pulsed oral irrigation in more detail.
