L'endoscopio dentale nella terapia parodontale non chirurgica

Dental endoscope in non-surgical periodontal therapy. Direct, real-time visualisation of hard and soft tissues within gingival sulcus may aid the clinician in diagnosis and therapy of periodontal disease. Up to now the surgical approach alone could achieve this goal. This report introduces anendoscope specifically designed for this purpose. A 0.85 mm fiber optic bundle is gently inserted into the periodontal sulcus, allowing to see directly under gingival margin. According to the Authors, a new and revolutionary era in periodontology is begun.
