PeriodonticsSubgingival scaling and root planing (SRP) is a non-surgical procedure used to treat periodontal disease by removing plaque and calculus from below the gum line. The procedure significantly alters the microflora of the periodontal pocket. It shifts the microbial composition from a predominantly anaerobic, gram-negative population associated with disease to a microflora with a higher proportion of aerobic, gram-positive bacteria, which is indicative of periodontal health. This change is a primary goal of the treatment, as the reduction of pathogenic bacteria helps to reduce inflammation and infection.
