RESUMO

The present work aimed at evaluating the effect of root treatment by instrumentation of not only mineralized teeth with curettes, ultra-sonics (US) and US followed by curettes, but also of teeth intermediately demineralized in combined instrumentations, by using citric acid and tetracycline. The dental surfaces were analysed on SEM by a unique examiner, being utilized 66 uniradicular teeth presenting calculus and thus indicating periodontal disease. The teeth were divided into 6 experimental groups with 10 teeth each and a control group consisting of 6 teeth with no treatment. The treatment protocol for the groups was as follows: group 1- mineralized teeth instrumented with curettes; group 2- mineralized teeth instrumented with US; group 3- mineralized teeth instrumented with US, followed by curette; group 4 - teeth instrumented with curettes, demineralized and again instrumented with curettes; group 5 - teeth instrumented with US, demineralized and again instrumented with US; and, group 6- teeth instrumented with US, demineralized and instrumented with curettes. The amount of residual calculus (RCI), roughness of the radicular surface (SRI) and loss of dental substance (LTSI) were assessed. The results demonstrated statistically significant differences regarding the RCI of group 2 in relation to groups 3, 4 and 6, and that of group 5 with groups 4 and 6; as for the SRI, there were statistically significant differences between group 2 and groups 1, 4 and 6, and between group 5 and groups 1 and 6; no statistically significant differences were observed for the LTSI among groups. The use of curettes, alone or following US, seems more suitable for the criteria of adequate root preparation, as a function of the parameters evaluated.
