Abstract

Upalne bolesti parodonta (gingivitis i parodontitis) i periimplantatnog tkiva (periimplantatni mukozitis i periimplantitis) globalno su prošireni javnozdravstveni problem. Glavni je uzročnik navedenih bolesti mikrobni biofilm, stoga je njegovo mehaničko uklanjanje prvi korak u prevenciji i terapiji. Zračno poliranje postupak je kojim se mlazom praška, vode i zraka pod pritiskom čiste i poliraju površine. Uređaji za zračno poliranje mogu biti samostalni ili ručni nastavci za spojku turbine. Prašci koji se najčešće koriste su: natrijev bikarbonat, glicin i eritritol. Glavna je svrha zračnog poliranja u parodontologiji i implantologiji uklanjanje biofilma s površine zubne krune, korijena i implantata i stvaranje pogodnih uvjeta za očuvanje zdravlja i/ili izlječenje upale. Djelotvornost zračnog poliranja usporediva je s ručnom instrumentacijom. Iako ne može ukloniti tvrde naslage, zračnim poliranjem i uklanjanjem biofilma uspješno se smanjuju klinički indikatori bolesti oko zuba i implantata. Postupak je izrazito prihvaćen među pacijentima budući da kratko traje i ne uzrokuje bol, već ga pacijenti opisuju ugodnim.

Abstract (english)

Inflammatory periodontal (gingivitis and periodontitis) and peri-implant (peri-implant mucositis and peri-implantitis) diseases are a worldwide public health problem. Microbial biofilm is the main cause of these diseases, and its mechanical disruption is the first step in disease prevention and therapy. Air polishing is a treatment in which a jet of powder, water and air under pressure is used to clean and polish the surface. Air polishing devices can be stand-alone units or hand-held devices connected to the air-turbine coupling. The most commonly used powders are sodium bicarbonate, glycine and erythritol. The main purpose of air polishing in periodontology and implantology is to remove biofilm from crown, root and implant surfaces, and create favorable conditions for health preservation and/or inflammation therapy. The efficacy of air polishing is comparable to that of hand instrumentation. Although it cannot remove calculus, the use of air polishing and biofilm removal can successfully reduce clinical indicators of disease around teeth and implants. The procedure is well accepted by patients since it is quick, painless, and described as comfortable by patients.
