Abstract :
Aim and objectives: This study aims to assess and compare bacteremia after hand scaling and ultrasonic scaling in blood samples of patients with chronic generalized periodontitis.
Materials and methods: A total of 30 patients with chronic generalized periodontitis visiting the department of periodontology, Rajarajeswari dental college and hospital, Bangalore were selected and divided into three groups. Group 1 included 10 blood samples without scaling, group 2 included 10 samples after hand scaling and group 3 included blood samples after ultrasonic scaling. Samples were then cultured in blood agar and total bacterial count was estimated.
Results: The culture showed 10% bacterial growth in hand scaling and 30% bacterial growth after ultrasonic scaling.
Conclusion: The study can be concluded that there is bacteremia in patients with hand and ultrasonic scaling, but comparatively less in systemically healthy individuals.
