Abstract
The invention relates to a method and a preparation for cleaning tooth root surfaces and surrounding tissue (periodontal pockets). The preparation is a two-component liquid of the type that has previously been used for chemical-mechanical treatment of carious lesion. The active component in the liquid is a hypochlorite, preferably sodium hypochlorite, and the other component in the liquid is a component which reduces the aggressiveness of the hypochlorite on healthy tissue and which also increases the viscosity of the liquid. The preparation is applied on the tooth root surface in question by means of a brush or an applicator instrument. After 10-15 seconds the root surface is cleaned by means of a scraping instrument.
