Oral prophylaxis involves cleaning and maintaining the oral tissues to prevent disease. Such a systematised practice uses both manual and ultrasonic instruments for the removal of plaque, calculus, and stains from all tooth surfaces. This treatment is sought to serve as a preventive measure against periodontal disease and dental caries and performs far superiorly than regular cleaning with a toothbrush and floss. Other benefits include discouragement of the development of gum disease and halitosis, detection of oral problems in their earliest stages, and maintenance of general good oral health.
The procedure starts with a proper and detailed oral examination and documentation of existing conditions. The dental professional begins by primarily performing supragingival scaling with ultrasonics followed by subgingival instrumentation. Root planing may be done to smooth rough root surfaces and remove diseased cementum. The process ends with polishing the tooth surfaces with prophylactic paste, followed by fluoride application when indicated. Modern techniques utilise air polishing systems for effective stain removal while maximising patient comfort. Post-procedure instructions incorporate revisiting oral hygiene, food preferences, and follow-up appointments for regular maintenance, ultimately to brace for a long-term maintenance plan for oral health.
