Abstract:

Comfortable supragingival scaling uses ultrasonic cleaning with sedation and minimally invasive techniques to minimize the negative emotions of patients and improve patient compliance. At present, there is still much room for optimization of the environment, equipment, and operation steps for the development of comfortable supragingival scaling. On this basis, the Department of Periodontology, College of Stomatology, Xi’an Jiaotong University proposed a 16-step new model of comfortable supragingival scaling. The new model incorporates adjustments to the previous model concerning the environment, equipment, operational procedures, process links and services, comprising 16 steps for optimization and innovation. Clinical practice has confirmed that the 16-step new model of comfortable supra-gingival scaling can significantly improve patient satisfaction and adherence to medical treatment, and it has good promotional value.
