Resumo (PT): OBJETIVOS: Este estudo preliminar teve a finalidade de avaliar clinicamente microbiologicamente o tratamento de pacientes portadores de periodontite leve a moderada, utilizando-se um novo aparelho piezo-elétrico disponível no mercado (VectorTM system). MATERIAL E MÉTODO: Dezesseis pacientes adultos, portadores de periodontite leve a moderada, foram submetidos ao tratamento. Utilizou-se um protocolo de PCR em tempo real utilizando primers específicos para três microrganismos. Realizaram-se avaliação clínica e um estudo microbiológico simultâneo antes e após os tratamentos. RESULTADOS: A avaliação clínica foi positiva, embora não tendo ocorrido alterações na quantidade de bactérias. Todos os pacientes apresentaram amplificação específica para P. intermedia e P. gingivalis e nove pacientes para A. Actinomycetemcomitans. CONCLUSÃO: Considerando-se os resultados deste estudo preliminar, tratamento com o aparelho testado mostrou eficácia clínica. O protocolo utilizado neste estudo está agora disponível para diagnóstico periodontal e monitoração de resultados de tratamento. Entretanto, indica-se estudos clínicos e microbiológicos mais aprofundados, com amostras maiores, para conclusões mais consistentes
Abstract (EN): OBJETIVE: This preliminary study aimed to evaluate clinically and microbiologically the treatment of patients with light to moderate periodontal disease by using an ultrasonic device. MATERIAL AND METHODS: Sixteen adults with moderate periodontitis were studied. A Real-time PCR protocol was optimised using specific primers for the three microorganisms. Clinical and microbiological testing was performed prior and following treatment. RESULTS: Despite clinical improvement, bacteria quantification didn’t change. All the patients were positive for P. gingivalis and P. intermedia and nine for A. actinomycetemcomitans. CONCLUSION: VectorTM-system treatment showed clinical improvement. A Real-time PCR protocol is now available for periodontal diagnostics and monitorization. However, further studies with larger populations are indicated
