In vitro Analysis of Surface Roughness Produced by an Air Polishing Device and Conventional Root Planing on Cementum: A Profilometric Study

Conclusions: Air polishing can effectively smoothen the root surface by removing surface irregularities which are produced hand/ultrasonic instruments. Profilometer can be effectively used to measure the surface roughness.
