The main aim of the present investigation was to evaluate clinical and patient-centered outcomes of supragingival scaling performed with or without the use of 2.5× magnification loupes and illumination.
A total of 30 patients, divided into three groups, were treated with 2.5× loupes and 2.5× loupes and illumination, and without any magnification device. Full-mouth plaque score percentage (FMPS%) and full-mouth bleeding score percentage (FMBS%) were registered before and after the treatment. Moreover, perceived pain and quality of the treatment were recorded using a visual analog scale. Appropriate statistical analysis was adopted to analyze between-group differences for the investigated parameters.
All of the patients completed the study protocol. All the groups were homogeneous at baseline. Supragingival scaling caused a significant reduction of FMPS% and FMBS% in all groups without differences among them. Moreover, no differences could be found for patient-centered outcomes. The duration of the treatment was significantly higher in the group in which loupes and illumination was used than in the control group.
The use of magnification loupes (with or without illumination) did not significantly improve clinical and patient-centered outcomes of supragingival scaling procedures.
本研究的主要目的是评估使用或不使用2.5倍放大率的放大镜及照明设备进行龈上洁治的临床和以患者为中心的治疗效果。
总共30名患者被分为三组，分别接受使用2.5倍放大镜、使用2.5倍放大镜及照明设备以及不使用任何放大设备的治疗。在治疗前后记录全口菌斑评分百分比（FMPS%）和全口出血评分百分比（FMBS%）。此外，使用视觉模拟量表记录患者的疼痛感受和治疗质量。采用适当的统计分析方法分析各研究参数的组间差异。
所有患者均完成了研究方案。所有组在基线时情况均一。龈上洁治使所有组的FMPS%和FMBS%均显著降低，且各组之间无差异。此外，在以患者为中心的治疗效果方面未发现差异。使用放大镜及照明设备的组治疗时间显著长于对照组。
使用放大率放大镜（无论有无照明）并未显著改善龈上洁治操作的临床和以患者为中心的治疗效果。
