Design of a periodontal Irrigating Appliance and Testing its Ability to irrigate pockets

Background & Aim: Incidence of periodontal pockets, their Problems and limitations of irrigating jet tips. Presentation of design and production of an irrigating appliance in abbreviation and testing its ability to irrigate pockets depth. Method & Materials: The study was done in the first stage according to exploratory way of descriptive method and in the second stage according to non - control trial method. Using common materials in dental office and Laboratory, the irrigating appliance was produced and its ability to irrigate pockets depth was tested on five patient with 29 pockets totally. A radiopaque liquid was used as the irrigant and its penetration in pockets was defined by its opacity on RVG (radio visio graphy) vision. Results: The irrigating appliance was designed and produced. 5 Patients involving two men and three women with average of 43.6+10.6 years old that had 29 pockets with average of 4.7 +0.8 millimeter depth, was selected. In all pockets, the radiopaque liquid was penetrated Completely %100 of depth. Conclusion: This appliance could push the irrigant into pockets.
