[A study of ultrasonic scaling in combination with povidone-iodine solution. (1)].
The effects of ultrasonic scaling in combination with povidone-iodine solution were examined clinically. The results obtained were as follows: 1. Three days after instrumentation, significant improvement was found in all experimental groups. Thereafter the improvement was at the same level and backing in each group. 2. Clinical findings, with exception of plaque index, showed improvement with ultrasonic scaling in combination with povidone-iodine solution in comparison with ultrasonic scaling alone and root planing.
