Background, aims: This prospective study was designed to investigate the role of root debridement at 3 month intervals for patients with periodontitis whose disease had persisted following the completion of conventional periodontal treatment. Methods: 39 maintenance patients with at least 4 pockets at least 4 mm deep were assigned to coronel scaling (CS) and subgingival scaling (SS) groups. Probing depths (PD), bleeding on probing (BOP) and relative attachment levels (RAL) were recorded at all eligible sites at baseline and 3, 6, 9 and 12 months later. Plaque index. scores were recorded at the 12-month visit. At every visit, following data collection, both groups received a coronal scaling and the SS group, in addition, received a thorough subgingival debridement. In the CS group, subgingival debridement was performed only for 'loser' sites which enhibited loss of attachment greater than or equal to 2 mm relative to baseline values. Due to low compliance, only 31 patients completed the study. Thus, data analyses were carried out for 130 sites in 17 CS group patients and 146 sites in 14 SS group patients. Results: During the course of the study, 21 loser sites were identified in each group. but the difference in proportion of loser sites between groups was not significant. Furthermore, although there was a trend toward PD reduction in both groups throughout the study, mean PD, RAL and BOP values were not significantly different from baseline values at any time point, and then were no significant differences between groups with respect to these variables. Mean plaque scores measured at the 12-month visit revealed no significant differences between groups. Conclusion: These findings call into question the value of performing repeated subgingival scaling at 3-month intervals for patients with persistent disease.
