Evaluating the Effects of Erythritol Air-Polishing Powder on Dental Hard Tissues

Abstract

This study evaluated the changes in different dental tissue surfaces after applying erythritol air-polishing powder using scanning electron microscopy. Eight single-rooted human teeth extracted due to advanced periodontitis were included. The samples were randomly divided into one experimental group and one control group. The tested air-polishing powder was erythritol, with no powder application in the control group. Evaluations were conducted on scanning electron microscope images. Each sample was photographed at different magnifications from three areas on the tooth: the enamel, cementoenamel junction, and cementum. Hard and soft tissue debris, surface roughness, and polishing powder accumulation levels were evaluated using pre-defined indexes on each tissue surface. Significant differences were found between the experimental and control groups regarding powder accumulation on the cementoenamel junction and cementum surface. No significant difference between the experimental and control groups was found in surface roughness and hard/soft tissue debris level on the tooth surfaces. The results indicated that erythritol oral polishing powder used in periodontal prophylaxis has different effects on the tooth surface.
