Comparing Erythritol Air Polishing and Ultrasonic Treatment to Manage Dental Black Stains

What this Trial Is About

This research aims to evaluate the effectiveness of erythritol powder air polishers, known for their antimicrobial properties, in preventing the recurrence of black stains on teeth caused by chromogenic microorganisms. These stains are more common in children, affect dental appearance, and impact self-esteem. Currently, no treatment prevents their return, and removal by mechanical methods can damage tooth enamel. The study is a randomized clinical trial designed to improve treatment approaches for dental black stains. Participants will receive either dental prophylaxis using ultrasonic treatment or dental prophylaxis with erythritol air polishing. Both treatments are applied to patients with dental black stains to compare their effectiveness in preventing stain recurrence. The trial includes a 12-month follow-up period to monitor outcomes, including patient satisfaction and treatment duration. During the study, researchers will assess the recurrence of dental black stains at 3, 6, 9, and 12 months after treatment. Patient satisfaction will be evaluated immediately after the intervention. The trial involves regular dental check-ups and monitoring to gather data on the treatments effects and any changes in tooth stains, aiming to support emotional well-being and protect tooth enamel over time.
