Successful nonsurgical periodontal therapy depends on eliminating biofilm and calculus to prevent the progression of periodontal diseases.1 Incomplete removal of these deposits enables biofilm to accumulate, causing inflammation that may lead to the destruction of surrounding tissue and bone. This is especially true for difficult-to-reach tooth surfaces with challenging root morphology. Calculus deposits left behind can lead to periodontal pockets that are laborious to manage.2 As such, securing access and removing all deposits are key to successful outcomes.
