Inclusion criteria

Inclusion criteria: The adult patients should have a vestibular recession of = 3 mm recession depth on at least two periodontally healthy teeth (anterior or premolar). The two teeth should be separated by at least one additional tooth, be free of restorations and not have a wedge-shaped defect. Furthermore, an informed consent must be available.

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria: Exclusion criteria are defined as pregnancy, breastfeeding and serious general illnesses that prohibit treatment with an air-polishing device. These include an increased risk of endocarditis, asthma, allergies to components of the powder, as well as to other dental materials used, periodontal treatment requirements (ST = 4 mm+bleeding or ST = 5 mm) or caries in the tooth being examined. Furthermore teeth with hypersensitivity should be excluded.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
The surface roughness is measured profilometrically. The surface roughness parameters sRa, sRz and sLR are measured.

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
subjective assessment of pain sensation of the two types of treatment (visual analogue scale), descriptive surface morphology
