Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
1. To assess and compare the size shape composition mass/weight of the two different sets of hand instruments. 2. To assess and compare the handling characteristics of Hu-friedy and LM Ergosense instruments during scaling through the questionnaire/Feedback form 3. To evaluate the effectiveness of LM Ergosense over Hu-friedy instruments on calculus removal during scaling.Timepoint: at the time of patients first dental visit

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
To assess the percentage of calculus removal by comparing the entire surface of the tooth before and after calculus removal through photographic analysis. To assess the time taken for removal of calculus based on the severity scores through calculus component index in Oral Hygiene Index-simplified by Green and Vermillion. To assess the number of strokes needed to remove calculus based on the severity scores Timepoint: During the patients first dental visit
