Subgingivally treated for 5 seconds with an air-polishing device using erythritol or standard supportive periodontal therapy
No differences in clinical outcomes between subgingival air-polishing with erythritol or traditional scaling except that patients tended to prefer air-polishing with erythritol
Subgingival low abrasive erythritol powder using an air-polishing device or repeated scaling and root planing at study sites
Both treatments produced significant reductions in bleeding on probing and probing pocket depth and increases in clinical attachment level; no statistically significant differences between the treatment groups
Subgingival air-polishing with erythritol containing 0.3% chlorhexidine was compared to ultrasonic debridement at 3-month intervals for up to 12 months
No difference between the treatments with respect to the presence or absence of a probing depth and the frequencies of 6 microorganisms; erythritol-treated sites were less frequently positive for Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans Air-polishing with erythritol was significantly better than ultrasonic debridement in terms of pain/discomfort perception

Air-polishing with 99.7% erythritol/0.3% chlorhexidine versus standard glycine powder
Erythritol/chlorhexidine was significantly more effective than glycine in inhibiting the growth of all 3 strains, reducing the number of surviving cells following air-polishing (15–30% for glycine, 50% for erythritol/chlorhexidine) and reducing the biofilm produced by all 3 strains
