Objectives: The aim of this work was to compare the use of two different powders, one composed of sodium bicarbonate and the other made of glycine, applied with "Prophy-Jet" in orthodontic patients suffering from gum disease. Materials: Fifteen patients aged 13-18 nearly to orthodontic were selected on the bases of a plaque index VPI ≥ 35% (O'Leary et al.) and gingival bleeding index GBI (Ainamo and Bay) ≥30%. Some patients were selected and subjected to: • periodontal treatment of all four squares; • treatment of the first square with "Prophy-Jet" and sodium bicarbonate; • treatment of the second square with "Prophy-Jet" and glycine. Results: The comparison between starting and last values showed a reduction, in the shortest time, of VPI and GBI in second square with Prophy-Jet" and glycine. Conclusions: Clinical results demonstrated that Prophy-Jet associated to traditional periodontal therapy reduce significantly periodontal index. The application of glicine powder has also displayed multiple uses in the healing process. © 2009 Elsevier Sri. All rights reserved.
