      Scaling and Root Planing in Patients With Chronic Periodontitis: A Systematic 
      Review and Meta-Analysis.

AB  - Periodontal disease is a chronic, complex, and infectious condition that affects 
      the periodontium. Its progressive form can be identified by the loss and 
      destruction of the periodontal ligament and the alveolar bone, respectively. 
      Periodontal disease, one of the most prevalent oral cavity diseases, is 
      responsible for tooth loss. Scaling and root planing (SCRP) is a standard, 
      non-invasive periodontal therapy for treating patients with 
      periodontitis. However, there have also been connections to disputed results. 
      According to reports, SCRP alone is ineffective in removing pathogenic 
      microorganisms and their by-products from periodontal pockets. In light of this, 
      our current study aims to determine if using manual or ultrasonic instruments for 
      SCRP in patients with a clinical diagnosis of chronic periodontitis is 
      preferable. This systematic evaluation compares the effectiveness of manual and 
      ultrasonic devices for SCRP, a line of therapy for individuals with a clinical 
      diagnosis of chronic periodontitis. The databases searched were Prospero, PubMed, 
      MEDLINE, CENTRAL, ClinicalTrials.gov, and Cochrane Library, which exclusively 
      included English-language papers. The articles were also manually searched for 
      any information missed during the search process.
