Abstract Abstract:
Objective: This study was aimed to compare the effect of 0.2% Chlorhexidine, 2% Povidone iodine and Distilled water as an ultrasonic liquid coolant on the roughness of root surface using profilometer after ultrasonic scaling.
Material and Method: This study utilized 40 extracted single-rooted teeth, including incisors, canines, and premolars. Ultrasonic scaling was performed in vitro using piezoelectric scalers. The teeth were randomly divided into control and experimental groups. Ultrasonic liquid coolants were procured directly from the market for the procedure.
Experimentation: Ultrasonic scaling was performed at a constant frequency using linear oscillations on the root surface, with movements maintained parallel to the long axis of each tooth. Each group was then subjected to profilometric analysis to evaluate root surface roughness.
Results: A significant difference was observed between the control and experimental groups (P < 0.05); however, no statistically significant difference was found among the experimental groups (P > 0.05).
Statistical Analysis: Intragroup surface roughness changes were analysed using Post hoc analysis, while intergroup comparisons were done with one-way ANOVA.
Conclusion: Neither 0.2% Chlorhexidine nor 2% Povidone Iodine can be regarded as reliable ultrasonic liquid coolants for minimizing root surface roughness during ultrasonic scaling.
Keywords Profilometric analysis, Root surface roughness, Ultrasonic coolant, 0.2% Chlorhexidine, 2% Povidone iodine, Distilled water.
