All the patients were referred for dental evaluation, and after periodontal examination, their periodontal indexes (l2a) and dental plaque (12b, 12c) were calculated according to standardized criteria: Dental plaque samples were obtained from the gingival pockets of teeth 6, 7, and 8 and upper and lower anterior teeth, using sterile Gracey probes.
HydraBrush Ultra also has four water jets positioned to directly penetrate the gingival pockets.
