A surgical approach is sometimes required in order to allow a correct access to the areas not thoroughly reached during the initial therapy. The present study focuses on the surgical scaling effectiveness in root deposits removal; the potential support of a disclosing agent during this procedure is also evaluated. Forty surgical periodontal patients were randomly divided between surgeries where the operator was informed about a final examination of the residual root deposits and surgeries where the operator was not informed. Straight after scaling procedures a supervisor recorded the O\u2019Leary Plaque Index of the exposed roots by mean of a disclosing agent and the percentage of teeth with residual biofilm. After the stained deposits removal, a second chromatic examination was performed and new data were collected. Mann-Whitney U-test and Wilcoxon test for paired samples were used for comparisons respectively between the two surgery groups and the first and the second chromatic examination; one-sided p-value was set at 0.05. At first examination no significant differences between the two groups were observed regarding Plaque Index (p=0.24) and percentages of teeth with residual biofilm (p=0.07). The 100% removal of roots deposits was never achieved during the study but a significant reduction of 80% of root deposits was observed between first and second examination (p=0.0001). Since root deposits removal during periodontal surgery resulted always suboptimal, the use of a disclosing agent during this procedure could be a useful and practical aid.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.2174\/1874210601206010046","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2012,2,16]],"date-time":"2012-02-16T09:49:02Z","timestamp":1329385742000},"page":"46-50","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.2174\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":11,"title":["The Use of a Disclosing Agent During Resective Periodontal Surgery for\nImproved Removal of Biofilm"],"prefix":"10.2174","volume":"6","author":[{"given":"Marco","family":"Montevecchi","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Vittorio","family":"Checchi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Maria Rosaria","family":"Gatto","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Sascha","family":"Klein","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Luigi","family":"Checchi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"965","reference":[{"key":"refR1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"367","DOI":"10.1902\/jop.1996.67.4.367","volume":"67","author":"Anderson GB","year":"1996","unstructured":"Anderson GB, Palmer JA, Bye FL, Smith BA, Caffesse RG. \n                Effectiveness\nof subgingival scaling and root planing: single versus multiple episodes of instrumentation \n                J Periodontol  \n                1996; \n                67\n                : 367-73.","journal-title":"J Periodontol"},{"key":"refR2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"118","DOI":"10.1902\/jop.1992.63.2.118","volume":"63","author":"Greenstein G","year":"1992","unstructured":"Greenstein G. \n                Periodontal response to mechanical and non-surgical\ntherapy: a review \n                J Periodontol  \n                1992; \n                63\n                : 118-30.","journal-title":"J Periodontol"},{"key":"refR3","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1093","DOI":"10.1902\/jop.1997.68.11.1093","volume":"68","author":"Otero-Cagide FJ","year":"1997","unstructured":"Otero-Cagide FJ, Long BA. \n                Comparative in vitro effectiveness of\nclosed root debridement with fine instruments on specific areas of\nmandibular first molar furcations.
