- Abstract
The article focuses on a study related to the use of Perio Pik subgingival delivery kit from Teledyne Water Pik Co. in controlling periodontal diseases. It is stated that this technique is a viable method of delivering chemicals and medicaments to the bottom of the pocket. In the study, actual depth to which the disclosing solution was delivered was compared to the measured pre-extraction depth of the pocket. The pocket depth of each selected tooth was measured from the crest of gingiva with a periodontal rule and then recorded. The result demonstrated that, in every case, the disclosing solution was delivered to the base of the pocket or beyond.
