| dc.description.abstract | Objectives To investigate the influence of instrumentation angle during low-abrasive air polishing (LAA) on the oral gingiva using an ex vivo porcine model. Material and methods Six tissue samples from each of 14 porcine mandibles were randomly selected and instrumented. Two different LAA powders (glycine 25 μm, tagatose 15 μm) were investigated. An application angle of either 30–60° or 90° was selected. Gingival specimens from different mandibles served as untreated references. Gingival biopsies were examined by scanning electron microscopy and paraffin histology for tissue destruction using a five-level scale. Results LAA caused significantly less tissue damage at a 90° angle than at a 30–60° angle. This effect was seen in both the glycine-based powder arms (p = 0.002, p = 0.046) and the tagatose-based powder arms (p = 0.003, p = 0.011). However, at identical working angles, the two powders did not show significant differences in terms of gingival erosion (p = 0.79 and p = 0.57; p = 0.91 and p = 0.78, respectively). Conclusions LAA may cause less tissue damage at an application angle of 90°. Consequently, it seems advisable to air-polish the soft tissue as perpendicularly as possible. Additionally, glycine and tagatose LAA powders do not seem to differ in concern of soft tissue damage. Clinical relevance Within the limitations of this ex vivo animal model, this study argues for an application that is as close as possible to the 90° angle intending to minimize soft tissue damage. Manufacturer specifications, however, mainly request applications deviating from the right angle. In order to work in interdental areas using LAA safely, the use of subgingival nozzles might be considered. | en_GB |
