Introduction:Chronic Periodontitis is an infectious condition that can result in the inflammatory destruction of periodontal ligament and alveolar bone. The aim of the study was to critically evaluate hand scaling and ultrasonic scaling in the local population. Method:35 patients were selected for this Split mouth randomized single blind study. Group I received scaling and root planing (SRP) with Ultrasonic Device and Group II received SRP with hand instruments. Plaque Index (PI), Gingival Index (GI), Pocket Probing Depth (PPD) and Clinical Attachment Level (CAL) were assessed at baseline before scaling and root planing, and after 1 month, and 3 months interval. Result:showed that there was a significant difference in all clinical parameters at baseline to 1 month, 3 months and 1 month to 3 month in group I and group II (p value ≤0.001). No statistical significant difference was seen in all clinical parameters between the two groups. The mean difference of time taken for the treatment procedure is approximately two times more in SRP with hand instruments as compared to ultrasonic scaling. (p value ≤0.001). Conclusion:There was a comparable results in reduction in all clinical parameter with both the treatment modalities except the time required for ultrasonic scaling.
