Scaling can be used to remove plaque, tartar and tooth stains. It is also the basic procedure to deal with mild cases of periodontitis disease. In the periodontal disease, the increased amount of calculus deposit can causes reoccurring inflammation. This upsets the balance of bone cells, causing them to break down more frequently. The attachment tissue becomes damaged while the patient begins experiencing permanent bone loss in the gum.

Root planning and scaling are the most effective procedures to counter the spread in the initial stages. However, for more severe cases the patient may require oral surgery. The root planning process involves root scaling which is why the process is often termed as deep cleaning. Here the dentist removes bacteria affected cementum, the surface layer of the root that helps keep the attachment tissue intact. The idea is to remove the toxic microorganisms and bacteria causing the inflammation, and stop the disease from spreading to the roots.
