Nuovo sistema ingrandente in parodontologia.

Clinician visual fatigue may compromise the results of non-surgical treatment of periodontal diseases. For this purpose, several magnification devices are now available. The purpose of this study is to assess the potential positive impact of an innovative magnification/endoscope device (Faro Inside®, Faro, Italy) in non-surgical treatment of gum diseases. Twelve patients (18 to 35 years old), have been enrolled, 9 affected by generalized gingivitis and 3 by ulcero-necrotic gingivitis, who accepted the proposed program of periodontal causal therapy. Patients were randomly assigned to a Control (A) group and an Experimental (B) group. The instrumentation time for patients of Group B was reduced and all the clinicians reported a greater comfort in both therapeutic and diagnostic phase. A marked reduction of BOP, at re-evaluation, was obtained for the Group B patients, who also reported less discomfort during the periodontal visit and the following instrumentation. The results of this preliminary study show that the adoption of a magnification/endoscope system, in the diagnosis and treatment of periodontal diseases, allows faster, more accurate and safe dental procedures, as well more comfort for the patient.
