The purpose of this study is to evaluate the short term clinical effect of air polishing device, aswell as safety and patient acceptance in subjects with pocket depth of 3-Smm. This was a randomized, spilt mouth clinical trial. In this study subgingival application of amino acid glycine powder at limited pressure was compared to scaling and root planing (SRP) in 10 subjects with pocket depth 3-Smm. After supra-gingival scaling, the spray was applied for 4-5 seconds in all sites in the test quadrant, whereas SRP was done in control quadrant. Sub-gingival air polishing was safe (no adverse events were noted), perceived to be more acceptable by the patients and was more time- efficient than SRP.
