Abstract
Periodontal instrumentation involves various tools essential for effective treatment of periodontal disease. Key instruments include scalers and curettes, designed for plaque and calculus removal, as well as ultrasonic devices that enhance efficiency. Hand instruments offer tactile feedback, while powered tools reduce operator fatigue and improve access to difficult areas. The choice of tools ultimately affects the quality of periodontal care and patient comfort, emphasizing the need for practitioners to be skilled in utilizing both hand and powered instruments to achieve optimal outcomes.
