Efficacy of calculus removal with hand and ultrasonic instruments on titanium surfaces.
Current research on significance of titanium particles and their possible role in causing periimplantitis emphasizes the importance of using instruments that do not damage the implant surface. Instrumentation causing the least amount of surface roughness should be considered since the risk of damaging the surface outweighs the benefit.
