Periodontal instrument sharpness assessment

The periodontal disease affect 20-50% of the different populations worldwide. Local factors like plaque biofilm and calculus are the main factors for periodontal disease initiation and progression. Therefore, the removal of these local factors to obtain a clean and smooth root surface is obligatory...
