In epileptic and non Epileptic children, the full dentition of each patient was split into four quadrants, starting from the upper right quadrant (1) and moving clockwise until the lower right quadrant (4). Bundled into two groups: quadrant (1+3) vs. (2+4). After randomization, each of these pairs of quadrants had the same treatment modality; test quadrants received treatment with airflow to remove soft biofilm, and ultrasonic scaler for areas with calculus deposits, and control quadrants were treated with conventional rubber cup polishing to remove soft biofilm and ultrasonic scaler for calculus deposits.
