ABSTRACT:
The present method and apparatus are directed to the treatment of periodontal disease. A contoured, calibrated instrument is employed to probe the gum tooth interface to locate periodontal lesions containing bacteria and their by-products such as plaque, calculus, and diseased tissue. After the prove has identified a periodontal lesion, a vibrating instrument having a configuration similar to the probe is inserted into the periodontal pocket in a manner so as to perferentially contact the tooth. The frequency and power used to drive the vibrating instrument is adjusted to a level sufficient to cauese the instrument to fracture the cementum and cause the instrument to fracture the dentin of the tooth leaving the dentinal tubuli exposed. The lesion is irrigated during treatment with a vibrating instrument with solution having preferably a pH between about 5 and 5.5. The lesion is closed by applying pressure for a time sufficient to assure the fibrin network penetrates the dentinal tubuli thus assuring that the periodontal tissue reattaches to the tooth.
