Adult periodontitis treated with a new device for subgingival lavage: A randomized controlled clinical trial using a split-mouth design

Van Dijk LJ, et al. - In patients with untreated adult periodontitis, authors assessed the impact of treatment with a novel pocket irrigator/evacuator device (IED) vs conventional subgingival debridement (CPT), both provided during the initial phase of active periodontal therapy.
