It is commonly performed as part of non-surgical periodontal (gum disease) therapy, often alongside \u201cscaling.\u201d The goal is to remove plaque and hardened deposits (calculus) and reduce surface roughness where bacteria can attach. It is most often used when gum inflammation is linked to deeper pockets around teeth."}
