Professional Mechanical Plaque Removal (PMPR) in paediatric patients can be challenging due to limited cooperation and access. The use of plaque disclosing agents (PD) in combination with air-flowing devices employing low-abrasiveness powders has demonstrated improved plaque removal in adults, with additional advantages in terms of comfort and treatment efficiency....
