Abstract: Traditional plaque removal methods mainly include ultrasonic cleaning and manualscaling, but the plaque control effect is limited in the root surface depression, root bifurcation and deep and complex periodontal pocket due to the difficulty of access with instruments, and repeated treatment will cause great damage to periodontal tissue. Glycine air polishing with pressurized air and water as carrier mixed with glycine sandblasting powder is an ideal treatment for plaque control, which has the characteristics of safety, high efficiency and high comfort for patients. This paper describes the application of glycine air polishing in plaque control.

Key words: glycine air polishing, dental plaque, periodontitis
